[W111th Block Association]
Saturday, November 19th, 12:00pm - 3:00pm | Riverside Drive & 111th.
Please join us for our third-annual food drive in support of neighbors in need during Thanksgiving. In addition to collecting your donations of non-perishable goods (canned veggies, soup, tuna, peanut butter, pasta, etc.), we'll also host a bake sale at the western end of 111th (we call it the 111th cul-de-sac). Donated food and proceeds will go to local food pantries. We'll also invite neighbors to share their views on community issues, so we can shape our priorities and programs in 2023. Please drop off contributions for the bake sale between 11:30am and 12:30pm; donations of non-perishable food can be dropped off anytime between 12-3pm. This is a great way to show our community support for neighbors experiencing difficulties. We hope to see you there!

[Columbia University]
Thursday, December 1st, 8:00am & Friday. December 2nd, 4:00pm | Low Plaza, 535 W. 116 St
There’s no better time than the present to...clean! Cleaning your office or living space creates more space and can also help the environment. Columbia University Facilities and Operations and our partners across campus want to help. As part of our award-winning “Clean + Go Green” program, we will make large bins available across the Morningside and Manhattanville campuses at no cost to you for the recycling, reuse or proper disposal of large, unwanted items. Best of all, Facilities and Operations will separate and recycle your items. That way, when you clean, you “go green.”
