Let's Can Hunger


My roommate, Michelle, joined SIFE this year and is heading up the Let's Can Hunger food drive challenge. Our team's goal is to collect 5,000 pounds of non-perishable food by April. The donated food will go to RWC SIFE's adopted zip code, 14621, an impoverished area downtown.

We had our first big event today - a scavenger hunt in the communities surrounding campus. We partnered up into teams of about 5 and were assigned a community. We went door to door asking for canned goods, peanut butter, etc. The team with the most pounds of food at the end won vouchers for pizza!

My team collected 93 pounds of food, and the grand total was 430 pounds! We've got a ways to go, but it was fun to kickoff the challenge today!
