OAPC Supports Winthrop University Students in Need:  Monthly CARE Food Shelf Collection

OAPC Mission Committee has partnered with Winthrop University for several years to support students who are facing food insecurity. Just this semester alone, 32 students have made 55 visits to the CARE Food Shelf in the Dean of Students Office. 

With this growing need, we invite you to donate essential food and hygiene supplies on a monthly basis to keep the Food Shelf well-stocked. Donations are welcome anytime (see the new dedicated bin in the Welcome Center) with the ‘Second Sunday’ being our focused collection day.
