**- bags that are donated to the pantry will still be offered, but we will not be dedicating any of our budget to buying and providing bags

Today is World Food Day! ❤️🍏

Food insecurity is extremely high on college campuses, including SOU. Take today to learn about the groups that are most at risk of facing food insecurity and how to help break down this barrier on our campus.

Remember, part of achieving a more sustainable future means meeting the basic needs of those today and tomorrow!

Thank you so much to everyone who donated food during dorm move out! All together, we received 547 pounds of food which was enough to fill a truck bed and keep the Student Food Pantry stocked for over a month 🎉

Thanks to Sustainability Team employees Josh, Caden, and Gianna as well as our volunteers for collecting, sorting, weighing, and stocking the donations.

⚠️🍎 The Food Pantry has moved to SU room 312 to accommodate more supply and it is open Monday-Friday 8:30 - 4:00 during the summer.

👏 That’s a wrap! 🎉
Let’s take a moment to thank the 22-23 Student Sustainability Team for all their hard work this year! Here are some highlighted accomplishments from this year:
- Held the first ever Climate Justice Conference, bringing people together to discuss Climate Justice, Activism, Racial Justice and Equity, and Fire Resilience
- Set records for Food Pantry attendance and use, supporting students fighting food insecurity on campus
- Held several events and work parties in the SOU Community Garden
- Organized Rogue Earth Day celebration with community partners and sponsors
- and much much more!

As the term comes to a close, make sure to share you appreciation for the great student-led programs on campus! Though the SusTeam office will be closed till Fall, some services, like the Food Pantry, will continue to run through Summer.

Let us know in the comments what event or program run by the SusTeam this year was most influential to you! We would love to hear your feedback 😊

After a spectacular,action packed, event last night- we want to chill it down with a daydreaming session for our last roundtable of the school year. 🌱What can the Collective do over the summer to initiate community action (free soup kitchens, musical field trips, cleanup days, art displays… another patchwork event?) THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS YALL! Even if you haven’t been to the Collective before and/or not a student, you are welcome to join us tonight. There will be dinner and crafts, so bring a friend and get dreamin! ☁️🌕💖 (also follow for summer updates!)
