Reusable Grocery Bag Drive

September 23–27

During the Week of Service, alumni and community members can support students and our community by donating reusable grocery bags to Metro State’s Student Parent Center. These grocery bags will be used in the Food Pantry throughout the year. There will be designated bins in the Saint Paul Campus Founders Hall, St. John’s Hall, Library and Learning Center, and Student Center. In addition, you can drop off reusable grocery bags to the alumni table at Fall Fest on Saturday, September 28.
