Full Summary: The GRIOT ERG will be hosting a canned food drive beginning November 1 and ending on November 16.

The GRIOT ERG will be hosting a canned food and toiletry drive for the month of November. Some of the food items needed most are single-serve soups, single-serve cereals/oatmeal, canned tuna and breakfast bars. Full-sized toiletries such as deodorant, shampoo, toothpaste, etc. are also requested. Donation bins have been set up around campus in the following areas:

  • College of Engineering (CEED office)
  • Global Learning Center – GLC (Receptionist Desk)

All donations will go to Klemis Kitchen. Klemis Kitchen serves as a food pantry for Georgia Tech students with dietary needs and financial concerns that limit their access to proper nourishment.

GRIOT is a Georgia Tech Employee Resource Group (ERG) for employees who self-identify as Black, African, African-American, or West Indian, and their allies. GRIOT provides a unique forum for building relationships through networking and professional development.
