This year the Campus Food Bank expects to give out 300 Holiday hampers, and we are seeking your assistance to do so. All donations are greatly appreciated, no amount is too small to give. If you, your family or department would like to donate to this drive, we would be grateful for your support.

Please contact Neha Bhutani (nbhutani@mun.ca) by November 29, 2024, if you want to organize a departmental hamper funds drive. Registration with us is very important so that we can plan our collection details. We will begin to collect funds on Monday, December 2, for those doing departmental collections.

Please note that we are not collecting food items for the Christmas hampers this year, only funds. Donations in any amount are greatly appreciated. If you do have non-perishable food items you would like to donate, we always welcome these to support our regular food bank offerings.

WAYS TO GIVE

Departmental collections
If your department/office traditionally collects funds, and your organizer is taking this on again for 2024, they will share details with you. If you don’t have an office volunteer organizer and you wish to take the task on, we’d appreciate that. Email Neha as noted above. Our collection day from you will begin on Monday, December 2nd. You can provide your donations in cash, cheque, or by e-transfer.

 Individual or Family Donations
1. If you or your family would like to donate to this initiative, you can mail a cheque, made out to Campus Food Bank. Please address internal mail to the Campus Food Bank and send it by November 25th. If sending from home, our Canada Post address is Campus Food Bank, Memorial University, St. John's NL A1C 5S7. Please allow enough postal time to receive it in our office by December 2nd.

2. You can also donate by e-transfer to foodbank@mun.ca until December 2nd. Put a comment in your e-transfer, or send a separate email to us, with your office or home address. We require this information to issue a tax receipt to you. We send receipts via internal mail where possible to save on postage costs.
