We are moving this challenge back to the spring semester, where it will stay moving forward! This year’s challenge will be only three days, running from January 29 to 31!
Every item donated has a point value from 1 to 10 points. These points will vary from year to year depending on the needs of the food pantry.
The winners of the Chancellor’s Challenge will be announced at the Mane Event on Thursday, February 1.
