A beautiful day for apple picking at Sholan Farms with CAB & Eco-Action! It's always great to support local growers, eat locally & seasonally, and be outdoors with friends! Special thanks to everyone at Sholan Farms for making this day possible.

Holy Cross Eco-Action harvested over 2000 lbs of cabbage (that's ~10,500 servings) for food insecure families this weekend at Community Harvest Project! Truly a testament to how powerful we can be when we all work together. Special thanks to the folks at CHP and our 12 machete-wielding volunteers for making Eco-Action's first volunteer outing of the semester such a successful one!

ATTENTION HOLY CROSS STUDENTS! This year when you move out--don't throw away your unwanted items! Instead, go to the main common room of your dorm and place them in the donation bins, starting Tuesday and going until the end of finals! Items will be sold back in the Fall and donated to local Worcester organizations. Email [email protected] with any questions.

THANK YOU to everyone who participated in the waste audit! Hogan produces a lot of trash, especially coffee cups and plastic to-go containers. Consider bringing your reusable cup to get coffee, or asking for your crossroads order to be put on a paper plate instead!
