Support the Purple Pantry!

The COB is teaming up with the Dean of Students Office and ECU Transit in February to help combat food insecurity for our ECU students.  “A little heart goes a long way” is the COB campaign to collect food and toiletry items for the Purple Pantry, a food pantry in the Main Student Center established for ECU students.

Donation boxes will be set up in the Student Technology Center (STC).   ECU Transit will be hosting a “stuff the bus” campaign towards the end of the month and the COB collections will be delivered to the bus. Donation updates will be posted in the Business Brief.  Student organizations will be contacted through our Dean’s Student Leadership Council to solicit their participation.

Thanks for your assistance.  If you have any questions, please contact Karen Kus at kusk@ecu.edu.
