  Welcome International students and local shopping.

  Pickup international students at CSUS and help them do shopping at Target, Walmart or a grocery store to purchase supplies.

  Members from our club have the opportunity to work with the International Programs and Global Engagement at CSUS to make a difference for international students.  

  Most students don’t have personal transportation, so IPGE would like to be able to plan some scheduled trips with FF members where students can visit these stores and receive some guidance on what items are needed, plus assistance in navigating the many options that are available in a store. 

  There will be six scheduled shopping dates and times and new students can sign up for one at their school orientation.
  Shopping schedule:
  Monday, August 19 from 10-12
  Monday, August 19 from 2-4
  Tuesday, August 20 from 10-12
  Tuesday, August 20 from 2-4
  Wednesday, August 21 from 10-12
  Wednesday, August 21 from 2-4

  If you are interested in volunteering to help and have not yet signed up, please send an email to kathleen-hart@sbcglobal.net.  Include your availability between Aug 19-21.

  CSUS parking pass will be provided.

  If you have already sent your availability to Kathy, there is no need to resend.  Thank you for your willingness to help!

  Explore - Understand - Serve, it's what we do!
