How big a food pyramid can the School of Nursing (SON) build?
Until Nov. 23, the SON will collect food items for the Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina. This year’s food drive, however, comes with a twist — A Healthy Competition.
Students will compete against faculty and staff to see which group can collect the most food donations by weight. Last year, the students demonstrated exceptional giving prowess — will they repeat their performance? Will the faculty and staff edge them out by a few ounces? We’ll announce this year’s winner at a ceremony on Nov. 24. The prize will be bragging rights and the satisfaction of making a difference for those in need.
This year’s goal: 500 + pounds of food
The Food Bank also accepts monetary donations. Individuals can donate with their Visa or Mastercard and can indicate which items they wish to be purchased with their gift. The SON has established its own page on the Food Bank’s Web site: http://www.foodbankcenc.org/site/PageServer?pagename=VFD_UNCNursing
All proceeds collected will benefit the Food Bank. For every $1 collected, the Food Bank can distribute four meals.
