Buddy Pack Walk Supports Food Bank
The third Buddy Pack Walk supported a total of 66 Buddy Packs, meals prepared by the Food Bank for Central and Northeast Missouri that will go to children from low-income families.
Multiple Truman departments competed in the walk to support the program. In first place was the Health and Exercise Science Department, which raised $1,281. Education followed in second place, raising $988. In third place was the McNair Program, earning $370. There were 100 volunteers in total, many of which came from Truman.
To further support the food bank, Truman students will be trick-or-treating for canned goods from 4-6 p.m. Oct. 19. The event coincides with Homecoming festivities and is part of the annual Big Week of Giving.
More information about the Buddy Pack program can be found on the food bank's website.
