Nutrition Class Supports Local Food Bank

Health and Exercise Science students enrolled in a nutrition class have partnered with The Food Bank for Central & Northeast Missouri for a food drive Sept. 30-Oct. 6.

Students will have tables set up on campus all week to collect money and non-perishable food. Tables will also be set up at Hy-Vee and Walmart from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Oct. 5 and from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Oct. 6.

The students are also hosting an event called “Pack the House,” named after the Buddy Pack Program, at 3 p.m. Oct. 5 in Pershing Arena. The Truman volleyball team will play Maryville and half of the money made on admission will benefit the food drive.

All money and food items raised throughout the week will stay in the Kirksville area.
