Rock & Wrap it Up!

This year, the Campus Ministry began participating in the Rock & Wrap it Up! School Program and College Wrap Program that helps feed those who are hungry using safely recovered edible leftover food. Campus Ministry hopes to accomplish this goal through student volunteers who will arrange for recovery of any college event “leftovers” to be used by local communities who are in need of food. Already, we have been able to assist Hope House Ministries in Port Jefferson and the Lighthouse Missions of Patchogue. We would love for this program to take off and grow among the College community, so contact us!
