Aggies sprang into action last year in the wake of fires in Northern California and hurricanes in Texas and Florida, donating about $900 each to relief efforts in Sonoma, Houston and Jacksonville, Florida. The Campus Store and Dining Services collected the donations.

Students at Florida State College, where a food pantry was the recipient of UC Davis' donations, made a video to say thank you. Watch the video on the Florida State College website.
