The Organization of Part-time University Students (OPUS) has thrown its support behind Trick or Eat, which organizes volunteers to dress up and head door-to-door asking for non-perishable food items instead of candy.
Last year, the program of Meal Exchange Windsor raised over 3,000 pounds of food for Hiatus House and the Well-Come Centre for Human Potential.
OPUS has agreed to provide volunteers, funding to run the event, and promotion.
A big crowd demands a big room. An overwhelming number of RSVPs prompted the Organization of Part-time University Students to relocate its social today to the Ambassador Auditorium’s Salon C, CAW Student Centre.
The event will feature discussion with Sean Moriarty, acting executive director of Information Technology Services, as well as free food and drinks. It will begin at 5 p.m. Learn more on the organization’s Web site.
