OLLI Food Drive
A Huge Success
Many thanks to the scores of OLLI at Sierra College members who donated cash and food to support the many homeless and food insecure students who attend our local community college. We raised over $3,000 in cash and provided hundreds of pounds of food. The Sierra College staff are excited and extremely grateful for our assistance.
