Generous food donation to benefit LSC students experiencing economic hardship
THANK YOU Affinity Plus Federal Credit Union!
The local Affinity Plus team generously donated much-needed groceries for the LSC Food Shelf early Monday morning. This will help a lot of students, especially because of the economic hardship caused by COVID-19! There continues to be an increasing number of students using the food shelf and/or requesting financial assistance from the LSC Foundation. We're here to help but we need your help in order to better support our students. Any and all donations are appreciated. Financial contributions can be made onlineand food items can be dropped off in the Student Life area. Thank you!
