SAAC Visits Winners Of Annual Food Drive
Each November, Indiana State’s Student-Athlete Advisory Committee hosts a food drive competition among the area elementary schools, in conjunction with ISU’s Jam the Bus program. Members of SAAC and Sycamore Sam made a special trip to Fuqua Elementary this week, the winners of the competition. As a whole, the school donated more than 1,800 canned goods but Mrs. Bennett’s kindergarten class brought in the most canned goods and they were rewarded with lunch. Each student in the school also got to enjoy an ISU basketball game
“Fuqua Elementary has always been a big supporter when it comes to our food drive,” Jeremy Ploch, SAAC Advisor, said. “The school has won every year that we’ve hosted the drive. It’s a fun competition and it teaches the elementary school students to give back to their community.”
Food is collected throughout the ISU and Terre Haute community and is donated to Terre Haute Catholic Charities. This year, more than three tons of food was donated.
Organizers of the food drive include Residential Life, Hulman Memorial Student Union Board, ISU Dining Services, the Center for Community Engagement and SAAC.
A special thank you goes to Beef O’Brady’s for providing the lunches.
