Annual Food Fight for PIN
Every December, our DACC students compete to see which lab can bring in the most donated food items for Delaware's People In Need. Currently, the south campus Electronics lab is in the lead with 2,844 points. Due to possible winter weather, the deadline to bring in food items has been extended from Friday, December 6th to Monday, December 9th.
There are two prizes at stake - the lab with the most points and the lab with the most points-per-student. The winning labs get the pleasure of delivering the food to the People In Need Food Drive on December 11th. Any student bringing in 30 or more points worth of food will be invited to an ice cream party! Use the Food Fight Score Sheet to determine how donations are scored.
Good luck to all of the labs! We will follow up with the winners and photos of the donation after the 11th.
