Every year, many organizations on campus compete to collect the most non-perishable goods and build the best “castle.” All of the proceeds go first to Mines students, staff, and faculty who are in need and then to CAG Food Bank who will distribute the donations to those who are are also in need here in Golden. The goal this year was an astonishing five-thousand pounds of cans! Nate Skinner, social chair for the Order of Omega stated, “Our goal was 5,000 cans, at this point, we are at 7,200 pounds.” The Order of Omega lead the Castle of Cans along with the Holiday Food Drive.
