Incentive program gives sandbagging credit

College students in Moorhead now have a little more incentive to bag sand. The city of Moorhead’s “Bags for Books” promotion will give students a $10 gift card to their school’s bookstore for every two hours that they bag sand. The offer applies to students of Minnesota State University Moorhead, Concordia College and Minnesota State Community and Technical College.

The promotion is offered Monday through Sunday during normal sandbagging hours at the city’s public works facility, 700 15th Ave. N. Students must present their student ID when they check in and out. Volunteers should bring gloves. Shovels and bottled water will be provided.
