Though December 31, 2009: Dinnaken Office Food & Fund Drive supports Second Harvest Heartland
The cancer center's Dinnaken office staff is running a Food & Fund Drive through December 31, 2009. Each $1 the Dinnaken office raises will allow Second Harvest Heartland to deliver $9 worth of healthy food to a growing number of families in need.

There are two easy ways to contribute and help the Dinnaken office reach its goal of $500 in donations and 200 pounds of donated food:

• Donate online at www.2harvest.org/goto/DinnakenSMURFS.
• Drop non-perishable food items in the Food & Fund Drive donation box outside of the cancer center's administrative offices, 754 Masonic Cancer Research Building.
