Pretzel and Custard Sale to Benefit 'Helping Our Own'

05/24/2018

Helping Our Own will again offer employees a taste of summer through its annual University-wide Ted Drewes frozen custard and Gus’s pretzels sale on Wednesday, June 13. Presale orders may also be placed until noon on Thursday, June 7.

Cups of frozen custard and pretzels will be sold at sites on the northern and southern ends of campuses from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. while supplies last on June 13.

Sales will take place in the Learning Resources Center and in the lobby of SSM Health Saint Louis University Hospital for buyers on the southern end of campus. Sales will be held inside the north entrance of Busch Student Center for those seeking a treat on the northern end of campus.

Presale orders are encouraged. Those placing early orders should indicate the number and flavor of frozen custard cups and the number of pretzels desired. Orders should be sent to Cathy Zimmer and should also indicate a sales location for pick-up of the order.

Frozen custard cups will come in chocolate, strawberry and vanilla and sell for $3 each. Pretzels will be sold for $1 each.

The Helping Our Own program provides a one-time monetary grant to any permanent full-time or part-time employee experiencing an unexpected financial crisis. It is funded by the generosity of University employee payroll pledges, gifts and fundraisers.
