Community Service: A Week of Giving
Campus Food Drive Week to benefit the Chittenden County Emergency Food Shelf
Non-perishable food items may be dropped off throughout the week at the Davis Center Atrium, Given/Rowell Brickyard, and Waterman Building (College Street Entrance)
Sponsored by Human Resource Services
According to a 2009 U.S. Department of Agriculture report, more than 12 percent of Vermont households are food "insecure" — meaning they do not have consistent access to enough food. Helping families in need achieve food security is the aim of a food shelf, which relies on community citizens and businesses for donations to meet this objective. However, the nutritional quality of the donations is not always addressed. [full article] [MLK Food Drive Poster]
