| Feed the Hungry |
In honor of NC Campus Compact's Tenth Year Anniversary, all member campuses are invited to host/feature initiatives that will address food insecurity in our state. This Statewide Challenge will be announced at our Student Conference - at the beginning of Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week - and will end on our Tenth Anniversary, March 22, 2012.
To kick-off this Challenge, students are invited to bring canned food items to the Student Conference. They will be collected at Turkeypalooza on Friday night and during the conference Saturday. Not only will the food collection help conference participants contribute to efforts to alleviate food insecurity in Forsyth County, but all campuses will start our four month food drive working together!
Start collecting canned food! Come hear at the Student Conference the innovative and creative ways campuses are responding to one of North Carolina's most pressing needs! Be part of the Solution! |
