The College of Charleston is collecting canned food in conjunction with Trident United Way’s Day of Caring (September 11) from September 6-12.Non-perishable food items will be accepted in the lobby of the Stern Center and will be delivered to the Lowcountry Food Bank.
Last year, the Office of Student Life (in the Division of Student Affairs) delivered 284 pounds of food – enough for 222 meals – to the Lowcountry Food Bank as part of this drive.
“Our goal is to increase the amount of food collected and we hope students will respond,” says Susan Payment, director of student life. “We’ve increased incentives for students who donate food and we’re working with clubs and organizations to get the word out.”
