Collecting can food for the community.
For the last two weeks, the Administrative Office Technology (AOT) (formerly Office Systems Technology - OST) students brought canned goods to donate to the Food Bank of Greenwood County. Students received one point of extra credit for every canned good brought - up to 10 cans. They filled two large trash receptacles, the contents of which were delivered to the Food Bank by AOT faculty member and Food Bank volunteer, Mary Lou Wilson. Additional donations were being accepted until the Thanksgiving Break.
