Food Basket Ideas
In preparation for thanks- giving we are in great need
of food baskets. Be sure to check out our list of common basket
ideas. Some Pictures from the Food
Basket Project

“Dare to Care, Be Willing to Share.”

This year Cornucopia, in partnership with
The United Campus Ministry, the TSAS Community Leadership Program, and the Office of
Community Service and Learning does three main basket drives
each year - Thanksgiving, Winter Holiday and Earth Day
(April).
We invite you and/or your office/ group/ organization/
family to put together a basket of food and fun for a family
or individuals in our local area. We will provide you with a
list of suggested items and specific information on where
and when to drop off your basket. |
| Your or your group
may also choose to
make a financial donation toward the creation of a basket.
We calculate that each basket costs approximately $60 to
create. Based on past experience, we expect as many as
350 requests for baskets
from UNH students, staff, contract employees and their families each
year. Clearly changes in our employment structures, increasing costs
for students, pressures on our international students and a variety of
other factors are making it difficult for some of our community members
to make ends meet. They need your help!
If you would like to donate then
please contact us directly. If you are in need then
please contact us with your request. Our forms provide
all the information need and you can also find more
information throughout this website. |
