TV-6 Canathon!
We are once again partnering with TV6 for their annual Canathon. Their collection efforts span across 10 Upper Peninsula counties, and all food collected in a community stays in that community. Last year they raised approximately 111,000 pounds of food, with about 2,040 pounds raised on campus. The NMU Volunteer Center wants you to help us collect even more food this year! Look for the purple collection boxes throughout campus, starting November 9 through December 3. Help feed a hungry neighbor!
