Photos and story by Kate Chester
The Sylvania ASС»Æ贫ý (student government) is launching a Food Canteen for students in need.
The grand opening will take place Tuesday, April 12 and Wednesday, April 13 in the ASС»Æ贫ý offices (lower level, CC building, at the windows). Regular hours of operation will be Tuesdays and Wednesdays, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., although students won’t be turned away if they come at other times.
Students can access the Food Canteen three times per term and obtain canned and non-perishable food items for themselves and their family members. Food donations are being provided by local grocery stores; seed funding from the С»Æ贫ý Foundation and ASС»Æ贫ý also is helping to stock canteen shelves with food for the launch.
