These bags are donated and delivered to West Baltimore to be distributed to families experiencing material poverty in the neighborhood. Although Loyola has been a long time contributor of this program, there are still many families whose needs are not being met. In March 2011, we were thrilled to have our delivery reach 45 bags, our highest number to date. However, this number has dropped since. So, we invite all members of the Loyola community to consider participating in this monthly program so that we can reach our goal of 50 bags per month. Increasing our delivery of monthly food bags would be a great way to give back to the community. We are thrilled to offer an opportunity for folks in the Timonium campus. If you are interested in contributing to this program and do not have an easy way to bring your bag to the Evergreen campus, you can leave your bag in the North corridor outside of the Facility Management office. For folks in the Evergreen campus, bags can be dropped off in Lisa Flaherty’s office (Humanities 050R). We are very grateful to our friends and new neighbors in Philosophy and Theology who have graciously agreed to help us store the bags now that CCSJ has moved to the Humanities. If you have any questions, please e-mail the Viva House Service Coordinator, at careavansc@loyola.edu. Thank you to those of you who are already contributing to this program! Thank You! |
