United Way Annual Food Drive Competition

Posted on by

As part of the United Way Campaign, the Academic Service Learning Center would like to invite GRCC Departments to register for the Annual Food Drive Competition. Food collected will be delivered to two pantries: North Kent Service Center and SECOM (South End Community Outreach Ministries). Prizes such as food vouchers, movie passes, and gift certificates donated by Food Services, Student Life, Celebration Cinemas and local businesses will be awarded to the top three teams with the most food (by pound) donated. The Food Drive officially begins on Monday, 11/15 and ends Friday, 12/10.

You can register your team by e-mailing Kelsey at kcaverly@grcc.edu. The campaign encourages donations of the items that one would like to receive oneself. Winners will be determined by the pounds of food per team collected. Large bags of wheat, grain, rice, salt, and sugar will not be counted toward an organization’s total. The first drop day will be this Friday, 11/19. More details will be provided upon registration of team.

Last year’s Food Drive collected over a ton of food to stock the shelves of Grand Rapids pantries. The competition winners were:

1st place: Westside Learning Corner
2nd place: Financial Services
3rd place: Spectrum Theatre
