The office of student life, in conjunction with United Students Forum and Pro Initiatives, asks SCAD-Atlanta to brighten the lives of families in need this holiday season. Nonperishable food items will be accepted in the Student Resource Center until Thursday, Nov. 20. All items will be donated to the Atlanta Community Food Bank, which distributes almost 2 million pounds of food and other grocery items each month to more than 800 nonprofit partner agencies in 38 counties in metro Atlanta and north Georgia. The food bank supports a wide range of people in need, from children to the working poor. Food pantries, community kitchens, childcare centers, night shelters and senior centers are among the agencies that receive products from the food bank. For more information, e-mail Marcus Mister at mmister@scad.edu.
