SODA Donates to Hawks' Nest

Through our food drive campaign we donated 126 lbs. of food and hygiene items to the Hawks' Nest at Henry Ford College. This was the largest food donation they have received to date.
Hopefully this will help many students deal with food insecurity, and help them focus on their studies and not on where their next meal might come from.
Thank you everyone that contributed food and hygiene items!
