On November 30, SFU Surrey will be hosting a book and samosa sale in support of the United Way of the Lower Mainland. This is a great opportunity to donate any gently used books, CDs or board games, enjoy a tasty samosa, and find something new to read or enjoy for a very low price – all while raising much-needed funds for programs and services to help children, families, and seniors living in poverty.

Please drop off your donations at one of the nine donation boxes located around campus by Thursday, November 24.
