Beans for Bean Food Drive

The BU community responded with enthusiasm to the call from their community resource dog Bean (flanked by her pal Sasha, Harvard's rescue dog) to help the BU Police Department support the University’s food bank by contributing to the Beans for Bean food drive at the GSU April 2. Donors scored a limited edition Bean card and were entered to win a private play date with Bean.
