The 2015 Kent State University Homecoming Court,

through Kent Social Services and Center of Hope.

This year, the 2015 Kent State University Homecoming Court is engaging in philanthropy that will benefit the local community through Kent Social Services and Center of Hope. Both services survive solely on donations and provide lunches for families in need, as well as a grocery pantry program.

The Homecoming Court will have a table in the Kent Student Center from Monday, Sept. 28, through Friday, Oct. 2, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. to collect nonperishable foods, personal care items (toothbrush, soap, shampoo, etc.) and monetary donations to give to Kent Social Services and Center of Hope. All money donations will benefit those organizations when they visit the Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank to purchase food ($1 donated is equivalent to $4 worth of food at the food bank).

Members of the Homecoming Court encourage you to donate to help those who are less fortunate, and they ask for your help in spreading the word about the philanthropic event during homecoming week.
