On October 18th, the Research & Scholarly Communications Services Department held their annual retreat. The morning was dedicated to a service project, where we had the opportunity to volunteer at the Loaves & Fishes food pantry in Devens, MA. Tess and Leah helped prepare grocery bag bundles containing the pantry basics and shelf stable components of each food pick up, while Lisa, Kris, and Robert helped sort and organize incoming donations from individuals, local food drives, and partnering supermarkets.
