Food for Thought
What is Food for Thought?
Food for Thought is a team-based, U of A-wide, food drive competition. Sign up your team, start collecting food and get competitive. The team that raise the most pounds of food wins! There will be bragging rights and a prize for the winning team.
When Does Food for Thought Happen?
There will be a 3-day donation drop off, from March 20 to 22, where your team can bring your donations in. The faculty of Campus Saint-Jean has donated the use of their mini-bus to put all the donations on throughout these days!
Bus locations are being confirmed, so stay tuned!
When Can We Collect Donations?
Start now! Your team has until the end of the 3-day drop off (March 22) to collect donations! Big donation boxes are available from the Campus Food Bank on request, so you can to collect non-perishable items in your office or gathering space.
What Should We Collect?
Non-perishable food items are the focus for this drive! The CFB's most needed items are canned fruits and veggies, canned proteins (tuna, legumes, beans without sauce), pasta, brown rice, peanut butter and oats.
Who Can Participate?
We are hoping to see offices, units and departments sign up teams, so we can see some friendly competition! But with that being said, any group on campus can make a team! Whether that's a group of friends, a student group or a staff team, you are welcome at Food for Thought!
