Cans Across America -- Food Drive

11/10/08

Contributed by Julie Whitten

Imagine a food drive that can collect nearly 400,000 pounds of food in a single day. Now imagine the number of people that could be fed with all of those donations.

On Wednesday, November 12th, Ithaca Dining Services will take part in a nationwide event called Cans Across America. Organized by Sodexo USA in conjunction with the Sodexo Foundation and the STOP Hunger initiative, the objective of this event is to set the Guinness World Record for the most non-perishable food collected nationally in a 24 hour period.

Please participate by bringing any non-perishable food items within their expiration date to the collection bins located at any dining location including all dining halls, IC Square and the coffee carts in the academic buildings.
