Food Fast Offers Convenient Option for United Way Donation

Sodexo, Residence Life and the United Way are teaming up again this year for the 2009 Food Fast.

During the week of Oct. 19-24, students will be able to donate meals, dining dollars and bonus bucks to the United Way.

Donations can be made at any of the residence hall cafeterias, with student advisers or online at http://reslife.truman.edu.  

Last year, students donated more than $5,000 through the Food Fast, which helped to exceed Truman’s campaign goal of $56,000. This year, Truman’s goal is again set at $56,000.

The United Way is an invaluable organization in Adair County and the greater Northeast Missouri community. Money raised for the United Way is used to fund programs and agencies that benefit the local community, including: the Boy Scouts, the Girl Scouts, the  American Red Cross, the  Salvation Army, Victim Support Services, Hospice and more.

For questions about the Food Fast, or other forms of pledging to Truman’s United Way campaign, contact co-chairs Joe Hamilton (hamilton@truman.edu), Deb Kerby (dkerby@truman.edu) or Elise Bailey (emb970@truman.edu).
