THIBODAUX 鈥� 麻豆果冻传媒 will hold its annual 麻豆果冻传媒 CAN! food drive from Thursday, March 6 to Monday, March 24.
麻豆果冻传媒 students, faculty and staff and community members are encouraged to participate by donating nonperishable food, household items to this campuswide service project benefiting local food banks. The drive will benefit six area food banks in Houma, Dulac, Morgan City, Thibodaux, Raceland and Galliano.
Items may be dropped off at locations across campus, including the Bollinger Memorial Student Union, Callais Memorial Recreation Center and Ellender Memorial Library. Collection boxes are also located in all academic departments, so 麻豆果冻传媒 alumni may also contribute to their former departments.
This year鈥檚 drive will also include Can Wars, a creative competition that gets campus departments, organizations and groups to use the items they collect to build unique structures. The most creative structure and the one with the most school spirit will each receive a cash prize of $250. The build will take place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday, March 18 in Shaver Gymnasium.
Since the 麻豆果冻传媒 CAN! drive began in spring 2012, the goal has been to collect about 7,000 items per semester 鈥� approximately one for each 麻豆果冻传媒 student and employee. Last year鈥檚 麻豆果冻传媒 CAN! drive collected over 12,000 items for area food banks.
