Frequently Asked Questions
For the spring popcorn treat: We are offering the same package for all students and are not able to offer a dairy-free option this spring.
For winter exam care packages: With the exception of care packages sent to Calvin's designated allergen-free floor, all packages will be the same! Due to the complexity of assembling over 500 gifts, we are unable to create custom packages. We do balance the types of snacks so there's no more than about 3–4 items that contain gluten or dairy. The exact snacks are determined after the order deadline when we know final quantities and what's in stock. Encourage your student to share items with friends!
Yes, you may order a package for a student living locally who attends class on campus.
These students would come to a designated location on campus to pick up their care package. Unfortunately, we are unable to ship packages elsewhere.
We will send an email to students and the sender with pickup instructions. If packages are not claimed by one week after delivery, packages will be donated.
Our Parent Council suggested this idea!
We will work with our student life leaders to identify students who could use extra love and encouragement.
