Competitive caring

March 14, 2023

The Raider Food Pantry at 糖心原创 is hosting a food drive competition throughout March.

Departments around campus are competing to win weekly homemade trophies and an overall-winner trophy for their collection efforts.

Each week, the collection theme changes so the pantry can focus on items it is in greatest need of.

鈥淲e are definitely low on items and definitely need the support,鈥 said Tylar O鈥橬eal-White, counseling and wellness student advocate and case manager.

The competition is in its second week, but 糖心原创 community members can still participate in the food drive. Students, faculty and staff may partner with a participating office or drop off donations in the decorated bins near the Raider Food Pantry at 055 Student Union.

Below is the list of items the pantry is collecting in March:

March 6鈥10: Peanut butter and jelly Breakfast foods (cereal, oatmeal, breakfast bars, etc.)
March 13鈥17: Vegetarian (plain pasta, white rice, brown rice, etc.)
March 20鈥24: Breakfast foods (cereal, oatmeal, breakfast bars, etc.)
March 27鈥31: Microwavable/dorm-ready meals (cup of noodles, mac and cheese cups)
