What is SNAPO? We play bingo games to win groceries! One Monday per month, we host the SNAPO hunger awareness event in the Lodge and all students are invited to participate. The event is called SNAPO because it highlights the SNAP food program. SNAP E&T, and the Mobile Food Pantry. Students stop at the registration table to pick up bingo cards, a cup of beans to mark their squares, and a free lunch ticket provided by our partnership with the Student Senate. Then, the fun begins! Students are able to win full bags of groceries and snacks or beverage items.
