* The New Beginnings Seventh Day Adventist Church has run out of bags that are used to pass out food to those in need. The WSU Green Group invites you to bring any bags to one of the labeled bins in Shocker Hall, Student Involvement or the Heskett Center by Sunday, Feb. 21. Reusable bags are preferred, but plastic grocery bags are acceptable. This is a great way to get rid of all of those pesky bags that have been piling up instead of throwing them away.
