Crop Drop Set for Oct. 24th

Campus Ministry is proud to announce the up- coming Crop Drop hosted by the Society of St. Andrew, Thrivent Financial for Lutherans, and University Lutheran Church and Campus Ministry. The Society of St. Andrew is a group that educates, organizes, and acts to create change and end hunger. So, in the spirit of the Society of St. Andrew let’s get educated so we can effectively organize and act to help end hunger in our area! Please help us work towards an end to hunger (at least for a few days) in our community. The Crop Drop will take place at ULC ( see location map ) on Saturday, Oct. 24th, from 9 a.m. until lunchtime (which will be provided by Thrivent Financial for Lutherans). We have plenty of openings that need to be filled for our Crop Drop to be a success! About 25,000 pounds of crops will be dropped onto the parking lot for us to bag. We will have officially 45,000 lbs of white potatoes and some locally gleaned corn and cucumbers! A variety of other churches, organizations, and on-campus groups will help, but we need your help too! There are opportunities in manual labor, in the kitchen and lunch crew, in hospitality, and others. Please see Emily Robinson or email: ulc.cropdrop@gmail.com if you or anyone you know would be able to help out! Read more on the Crop Drop Information Sheet and download a flyer.

A sustainable life is not that difficult. Whether it is your room, your hotel or your B&B you can choose to arrange it in an ecological way while enjoying various advantages. On the one hand, you are doing good for the environment by reducing the impact on the planet. On the other hand, you will reduce your waste, minimize consumption… and save money!

This waste pollutes our environment and above all prevents the reuse of waste and reduces the abundance of resources as well. Make a commitment to create a place to sort your waste: perhaps outside or on a balcony and to better avoid unwanted odours, dispose of it regularly. Also be careful with the cooking oil used at home! If you dispose of them in the sewers, it can cause serious damage to the environment: it must be carried out at the appropriate collection points on the territory.
