Hey Everyone,

It’s Amanda, your SVC Office Manager checking in. I wanted to thank everyone who came to our annual volunteer fair on October 15th for coming out and getting curious about all the amazing orgs in our community! And of course, we couldn’t have pulled it off without all of the organizations who had people tabling all day looking for new volunteers! So thank you thank you thank you to everyone who got involved. I personally had a great time meeting people and students who are also interested in volunteering in the community. Such a unifier! Pics are coming up soon!

Also, just to give everyone a head’s up, we have our annual Meal Plan/Flexi Drive for Second Harvest Food Bank coming up on November 3rd. You can donate right at the register at the dining halls. How easy and sweet is that? We’ll definitely be starting to do some publicity for the drive this week, so keep your eye out for our signature neon (amazing, awesome, beautiful) flyers to get a few more details! If you have any more questions, just e-mail us at volunteer@ucsc.edu!

Happy volunteering!

-Amanda
