In anticipation of our fall semester final exams, the Student Alumni Council (SAC), in conjunction with the Office of Development and Alumni Relations, offers you the opportunity to send your student a finals care package.

Each care package is $30. A list of sample items may be found at this link: http://sac.sites.grinnell.edu/calendar/care-packages. If your student has food allergies, we will be able to replace it with a suitable alternative.

We also ask you to consider ordering an additional package for a student who might need a “pick-me-up” during finals week. Last fall, 117 students benefited from others’ acts of kindness. We work with offices across campus to identify students who will benefit from a kindness care package. With your support, we can continue offering this important program to our students. 

Your student(s) will be notified via campus mail and email that they have received a care package and will be able to collect it on either Tuesday, Dec. 7 or Wednesday, Dec. 8. If your student does not pick up their package on either day, or make alternative pick-up arrangements with us, we will donate their care package to Student Health and Counseling Services (SHACs) to hand out to students in need of a “pick-me-up.”

Once you complete the order for a care package, you will given a link to an online form to send a personalized message to your care package recipient.

Orders placed after Nov. 12 will incur a $10 late fee. Final care package orders are due Nov. 19.
