Volunteers Needed

Rahaf Baydoun, a sophomore Nutrition & Dietetics major, volunteers her time at the KSU Campus Kitchen in Beall Hall on Nov. 16. She is chopping vegetables to help prepare meals for Kent Social Services and Center of Hope in Ravenna, both local shelters that provide meals for families in need. More than 20 volunteer students helped to prepare Cajun pork roast, baked pasta, peas and carrots, salad and a variety of pies for a Thanksgiving meal.
