Have extra flex dollars? Want a great way to spend them? Purchase non-perishable food items or toiletry items and donate them to the Little Pantries Food Drive, which is happening now. Donation boxes are set up in Olmsted and outside the C-store until the end of finals week. Donate to the Des Moines and Drake community during the holiday season and help us keep the pantries stocked. Thank you in advance for your donations.
