Good morning and welcome to Week 8 of college! Now that we have made it through registration (at least semi-intact) our final weeks of the fall trimester approach us. But first, let’s make sure to all take a breather during our break this following week! Here are a few highlights to consider:

Come join us at our last event of the trimester! From 9 AM to 12 PM, the peer mentors will be in the NRH Kitchen this Sunday. Join Solange and Ami to make pumpkin muffins and apple crisp in a fun baking event, or grab some homemade breakfast pancakes from Ronan! Additionally, there will be games and coloring pages set out to de-stress before the finals week grind begins. Stop in for a couple of minutes or spend a few hours baking delicious treats; whatever it is, we hope to see you there!

SNAP benefits have returned for November, but it’s still helpful to know what other resources you have on and off campus! UO Basic Needs helps students to overcome barriers in accessing food, housing, and financial wellness. Here are some resources they provide:

Produce Drop: Free fruit, vegetables, bread and more at the EMU Amphitheater on Tuesdays 2:45 to 5:00. *UO Students only, ID Required

Student Food Pantry: Non-perishables, fresh produce, dairy, and more depending on availability on Wed & Thurs 4-6 PM at 710 E. 17th Ave, Eugene. *UO only, bring #95

Ducks Feeding Ducks: Transfer of $12 into student duck buck account for three days. *UO only, limit of two transfers per term

Hearth and Table: Community kitchen providing students free home cooked meals every Thursday night 6:30-7:30 at Central Lutheran Church Parish Hall.

Leftover Text-Over: Texts students when there is leftover catered food from events. *Sign up online

Happy to see you all on Friday for Dr. Rovak’s tips and tricks on navigating the new registration system; we hope it helped! The peer mentors were happy to help all of you who had questions as well :)

Staying in Eugene over Thanksgiving and have no plans? Professor Moffitt is hosting a Thanksgiving dinner at his house open to any CHC students (and their friends or partners)! No need to bring anything, just a traditional Thanksgiving fair with gluten-free and vegan options available. Get in touch with Professor Moffitt at [email protected] to attend!

We hope you have some fun plans for Thanksgiving Break! We are thankful for all of your continued support and how cool our mentees are this year 💚 Stay warm ducks!
