Hello,

The UofM Food Bank invites you to participate in our upcoming fundraising event to support students in need of our campus food bank. With over 500 students visiting each month, we are calling on the entire UofM community to come together for this important cause. This time, we are hosting a SPOOKTACULAR CANDY SALE!

We would love your help by contributing a bag (or box!) of your favorite Halloween candy. Our team of dedicated volunteers will sort and pack the candies into spooky bags to sell across campus, with all proceeds going directly to the purchase of food and hygiene products to support students who rely on the food bank. We will send our details in the following weeks on how to surprise your colleagues across the Fort Garry campus!

Candy Drop-Off Details:

* Dates: October 3rd to October 29th, 2024 * Drop-Off Locations: * 8:30 AM - 10:00 AM: 422 University Center (Financial Aid and Awards Office) * 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM: 518 University Center (UM Student Food Bank)

*Peanut-free candy only please

Note: If your office would like to contribute as a group, please email us, and a team of volunteers will arrange a scheduled pick-up of your generous donation. Contact us at foodbank@umanitoba.camailto:foodbank@umanitoba.ca for more details.

We will share more information about the candy sale as we approach the event dates (October 30 and 31), so stay tuned!
