Cornell's Campus Store is sponsoring a canned food drive Dec. 7 through Dec. 18. Faculty, staff and students may drop off canned and dried food products in the main hallway at the Campus Store.

According to Joan Manheim, marketing and special-events coordinator for the store, all items collected will be given to the Church on the Rock, a local food pantry that provides food, as well as clothing, to those in need.

"For students in particular, this is a good opportunity to clean out cupboards before leaving campus," Manheim said.

Among the items needed are rice, oats, jams and jellies, dried or canned beans, canned tuna, juices and other nonperishable foods.
