Daughters of the Elks Temple donate to LLCC Food Pantry

Yesterday, the LLCC Student Life Food Pantry was the recipient of a very generous donation from members of the local community. Our thanks to the Daughters of the Elks Temple, Sarah Price Temple #1267, who donated various food items and personal hygiene products. Kim Wilson, LLCC recruitment specialist, knew the pantry was running low, and she and her fellow Elks members answered the call, making sure the pantry was stocked for our students.

LLCC students may visit the food pantry once a week. The pantry has various food items, personal hygiene products, clothing and even some school supplies. Student s can reach out to Student Life staff by Messenger or by emailing StudentLife@llcc.edu. Student Life is open Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Blood drive today

ImpactLife and LLCC Student Life are thrilled to share that the first blood drive’s goal has been met! A big sincere thank you to the 19 members of this community who have signed up for today’s blood drive. Still, thinking about donating blood? Whether you are a first-time donor or a repeat one, there is still a chance for you to donate today and make a difference. Same-day appointments are available by visiting the collection site in Trutter and talking with a member of ImpactLife.

Many variables can impact our blood inventories such as weather, holidays or tragic events.  Every day, patients who need blood are in crisis and you can help by volunteering to donate.  Less than 10% of the population gives blood, so donors that give on a regular basis are important to meet these needs. Schedule an appointment today!
