Agape Table Donations - Nov 24th :)
by CoRS RTadmin 14 Nov '25

14 Nov '25

Sent on behalf of Kaitlin King. I’m hosting a pulmonary rehab lab for Primary Care (RESP 2200) on Monday, Nov 24. Students need to bring in two same-sized cans for the lab, so I thought it would be a great opportunity to donate the food. If anyone would like to contribute additional items, please have them dropped off in the RT copy room by Nov 24 at 1 pm. I’ll take everything to Agape Table afterward 🙂 https://www.agapetable.ca/ways-to-help#FilltheNeed Thank you so much!
