The latest update from our egg-onomics expert is forecasting that we will buy 26,000 dozen eggs this year! This is an eggs-tremely important food source for our student community! But hey, we're not ones to chicken out when faced with a challenge. Your support can be the eggs-tra boost we need to keep this protein-packed brain fuel in our fridges week after week. 🐣
Help us rally to crack this challenge wide open by making a gift this Dam Proud Day. Every dollar counts, and we'll be eggs-traordinarily grateful for your generosity! 🥚
