2nd Annual Fixings for Thanksgiving Club Challenge

The Sustainovation Club teamed up with the MARCOMM Club for a second year to challenge students clubs across the campus to help Media Food Bank provide a full Thanksgiving meal to families in our region. Media Food Bank receives plenty of turkey donations, but not enough of the “fixings” to go along with the turkey. We were asked to provide specific food items, and we turned their wish list into our second annual Fixings for Thanksgiving Club Challenge.

Each club selected a different food item to collect and donate. The Office of Student Affairs generously offered to award the clubs that collected the most items. Even faculty and staff decided to join in on the fun!

At the end of the collection drive, we donated 207 food items to Media Food Bank.

We thank the following clubs for their participation and contributions: Active Minds (stuffing, gravy, canned pie filling), Blue and White Society (boxed instant mashed potatoes), Lion Ambassadors (salt & pepper), Sustainovation (rice) and MARCOMM (cranberry sauce). Faculty contributed salad dressing, while staff donated applesauce.

 


The food drive for Media Food Bank in fall 2018 supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal #2 – Zero Hunger and Goal #10 – Reduced Inequalities.
