EcoFaith Stuff Exchange Continues
The EcoFaith Stuff Exchange will continue throughout both sessions of the January RFS. Stop by the second floor corner of OCC to browse the items that have been donated—or bring some to donate.
Volunteers are needed to make this happen. Sign up here to help with set up, daily tidying up, and cleanup. We are particularly in need of volunteers to help box up items and bring them to local charities and thrift stores after class on January 12.
