Family Weekend Service Project

Service is a key Ragin' Cajun value. Join the movement by participating in the annual Family Weekend Service Project, benefitting the �鶹��ý Lafayette Career Closet and Campus Cupboard.

During Family Weekend, we invite you to donate gently-used professional clothing, nonperishable food items, and/or personal hygiene products at the designated drive-through drop-off location. Your donations will directly benefit �鶹��ý Lafayette students! View detailed drop-off instructions below.
