Can Emporia: WSGA's annual food drive
Can Emporia is an annual competition at Washburn University against Emporia State University. The cans raised go to local food pantries in the Topeka community, including Washburn's Bods Feeding Bods food pantry. Stay tuned using our social media for exciting competitions, prizes and what is happening next during this exciting time!
Community members are strongly encouraged to participate in triumphing over Emporia State University, while helping those in need: a value instilled in all Ichabods, past and present. Washburn University is located at 1700 SW College Ave, Topeka, KS 66621. Student organizations are welcome to stop by the office from 9 a.m to 5 p.m. to donate cans, and all cans from student organizations will be marked with the respective organization.
