Through the generosity of several donors, we were able to re-stock our Campus Cupboard located in the Chaplaincy Centre. Many student volunteers are committed to finding recipes, advertising and maintaining good food selection for UPEI's food bank. Why not drop by the Chaplaincy Centre and see what is on the shelf? And see Sr Sue for gift cards to local grocery stores....

The end of the First Semester came with its usual bang from the Chaplaincy Centre with the Free Chili Lunch, December 6 and 7. A committed crew of 25 staff , faculty and friends served over 600 stressed, exam anxiety-filled students. And what an event it was!
Kudos to our cook, Chef Rocky and the many helpers who make this bi-annual event such a hit.
