Pharmacy students holding signs to guide visitors to hot meals they prepared.

Last week, students, staff, and faculty from the School of Pharmacy supported local service organization Ray of Hope in delivering two events - preparing a hot lasagna meal and providing a rest stop for the annual Coldest Night of the Year walk.

For the first event, which was held on Tuesday February 19th, the School of Pharmacy gathered at Ray of Hope to make lasagna, salad, and garlic bread. Faculty, staff and students made the sauce and prepared eleven big trays of lasagna. Another shift of pharmacy volunteers served the meal to the 200 people who came by the centre that night. In what is becoming an annual tradition for Waterloo Pharmacy, this was the third meal that pharmacy volunteers have prepared at the community centre.
