Every donation makes a difference!
How it Works
- Dates: The competition will run throughout the month of November.
- Team Up: Each department can form multiple teams (each team can have a maximum of 15 members) and start collecting non-perishable food items and essentials.
- Earn Points: Points are assigned based on the items donated. The more valuable the item, the higher the points!
How are points assigned?
