A brief description of the institution’s employee community service initiatives:
There are several OSU employee community service initiatives that include both direct and indirect service. These include an Annual Employee & Family Service Day that engages volunteers in direct service addressing food insecurity at a local community garden and food share. Additionally, faculty and staff are invited and participate in varying degrees in all of the Center for Civic Engagement annual days of service (Make A Difference Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service, Earth Day of Service, and Day of Caring with United Way). A large number of employees put on fundraising events and donate food and money to the annual food drive that takes place during the month of February: http://oregonstate.edu/ua/events/food-drive. The 2013 food drive contributed over 513,096 pounds of food to the Linn Benton Food Share. Lastly, each year thousands of OSU employees participate in the Oregon State Employee’s Charitable Fund: http://www.oregon.gov/GCFS/pages/index.aspx.
