By Bella Gielniak

Giving Tuesday is coming up quickly on Tuesday, Nov. 28. Celebrate kindness by helping out the Grand Valley community. Here are a few easy ways you can make an impact for other Lakers this Giving Tuesday. 

Food Drive to support Replenish

Extra food in your pantry? Grand Valley’s basic needs resource, Replenish, is accepting donations until December 1. Find one of the various drop-off locations across all campuses to donate non-perishable food, personal care items, and toiletries. Check out this list for specific items Replenish is seaking. 

Giving Tuesday Celebration

Stop by the Kirkhof lobby on November 28 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. to celebrate Giving Tuesday. Help out the GVSU community by donating meal swipes, signing thank you cards, decorating Replenish care bags, and dropping off food drive donations. As you join the celebration, learn about Replenish and enjoy some FREE snacks!
