Backpack donations encouraged

The University of Lethbridge's Faculty of Management is once again participating in the Interfaith Food Bank's Annual First Day at School program.

The program provides backpacks filled with school supplies to students from low-income families. The Faculty of Management Dean's office (Markin Hall 4101) will be accepting school supply donations through to Monday, Sept. 12 during regular office hours, 8:30 a.m. to noon and 1 to 4:30 p.m.

Cash donations will also be accepted instead of school supply donations. Cheques can be made out to the Interfaith Food Bank. Tax receipts are available for both cash and school supply donations.
