Attendees and those not able to participate can support students by making a gift to one of the Penn State food pantries. Every $5 provides 20 or more meals or may be used to help stock shelves with other items such as toiletries or paper products. To learn more about making a donation, visit the Cooking Classic Let's Grow State site.
