Second Annual KU Food Drive Taking Place in October

LAWRENCE The University of Kansas campus food drive will take place throughout the
month of October, in order to benefit students at the University of Kansas as well as around all of
Douglas County. The drive is being run in conjunction with KU Hunger Awareness Month.
The food drive will have blue bins for donations located around the university campus for the
entire month. Students are encouraged to deposit non-perishable food items in donation bins. The
food donations will be given to the Just Food food bank of Lawrence.
We try to create simple entry points so that students can help their classmates, said Kevin Lee,
a journalism advisor at KU and event organizer for the KU food drive and Hunger Awareness
Month.
There are several events taking place throughout the month to complement the campus food
drive. These include a cooking session, a documentary screening followed by a discussion of
hunger in the United States, and also a session with food justice activist from New York, Tanya
Fields.

accepted on campus through October 31.
