Have you ever dreamed about having a Friendsgiving with your on-campus family? Well, you are in luck! The staff of Defiance College is turning our dreams become reality this year through the vision of Food with Friends!
Food with Friends encourages students to come together and bond around the table. With that being said, the DC staff is granting a generous food budget of $200 for every group of 6 to 8 students who sign up through the form attached below. It is up to your group to either aim for a traditional feast or customize your menu with your group’s favorite comfort foods with a fully funded gathering right here on campus!
Starting on October 30th, sign ups become available all the way up until December 1st. Initially, each student can only join one group in order for the students here at Defiance College to get at least an opportunity to participate. After that, students may join onto other groups.
Food with Friends is all about having fun and relaxing with friends before those final exams creep up on us. Our emotional wellbeing is just as important as our physical wellbeing.
In order to sign up, you will need to talk with your group. the form will ask for,
- Your email
- List of Your Group Members
- Group Leader’s Name and Cell Phone Number
- Date of Which You Want the Meal
- Location of Where You All Will Cook and Dine
- Full List of Ingredients + food items with the amount each item costs
Endless amounts of fun with a food budget? It’s a no brainer… signups start this Friday!
If you have any additional questions, contact Ms. Jen at jwalton@defiance.edu.
