What to bring: Non-perishable, store-bought canned goods (no expired/damaged cans, homemade food, perishables, sugary items, glass containers, baked goods, junk food, or baby food/formula).
The first-period class that CAN bring in the most wins a special reward!
Let’s show how strong our MKU community CAN be!
