The winning trivia team will be awarded a $1,000 grand prize. All participating trivia teams must arrive and sign up by 5 p.m. Trivia will begin promptly at 5:15 p.m.
Day of Service at Forgotten Harvest
April 2, 12:30 – 3 p.m.
Forgotten Harvest, 15000 Eight Mile Rd, Oak Park, MI 48237
Graduate students are invited to spend a few hours volunteering at one of Michigan’s premier food banks, Forgotten Harvest. Volunteers will work together in a warehouse environment to pack and distribute food for families in need. You will also get a tour of Forgotten Harvest to learn more about how the organization works to help the community.
Since this is the Graduate School’s first day of community service, we have a limited number of volunteer spots available. All attendees must pre-register by Tuesday, April 1. While walk-ups will be accepted, assignments will be planned ahead of time.
If you would like to attend but do not have transportation to Forgotten Harvest, please reach out to Nick Mattar at nmattar@wayne.edu.
