  • Can I donate outside of the theme?

    Yes! We have theme weeks to help come up with donation ideas. You do not have to stick to this though.

  • How do you count donations?

    We count donations and use a conversion rate of $2.97/ lb. The friendly competition between divisions is based off of weight and monetary donations using this conversion rate. 

    This year we are utilizing a point system based on need.

    1lb. of food = 2 pts.

    1lb. of beverages/Hygiene Products = 1 pt.
