The food piles up quickly with your help. |
The drive, of course, could not have been successful without the help of the Campbell community. Students, professors, clubs, and local businesses banded together to give food insecurity a roundhouse kick to the face this autumn.

- Foreign Language Department & Foreign Language Club
- Dr. Williams' CUFS 100 Class
- Wallace Student Society
- Teaching Fellows
- Coffee Society
- Barker Hall
- Healthcare Management Club
- Math/ITS Department
- Divinity School

For those of you who prefer stories over numbers, we've got you covered. We delivered 500 pounds of donations to the Harnett Food Pantry yesterday and the volunteers couldn't have been more grateful. The aging trailer houses evidence of a community response-- shelves lined with non-perishables. In the few minutes we were there we saw three families come through to receive emergency food.
The Pantry volunteers said they had over 100 families in the last week. Your support of the food drive is in turn supporting our neighbors who are hungry.
