Charitable Endeavours Across Campus<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s come together to support our campus community partners. The Unified Support Centre (USC), a student-funded, volunteer-driven service, provides essential supports like food access, advocacy, and safety programming for students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If possible, we encourage the Carleton community to contribute by donating non-perishable food items at 132 Nideyin\u00e0n (formerly UC) on Wednesday, June 24th. Every contribution helps strengthen the USC\u2019s ability to support students in need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To learn more or explore other ways to support, visit the Unified Support Centre (USC) website<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
