Annual Canned Food Drive

November 16-20, 2009

Combat hunger by donating canned goods, other non-perishables, or dollars that will go directly to an empty dinner table in our community. Last year, our school collected over 2,000 lbs of canned foods and $1600.00 in donations!!

Because we are law students, and love the adversarial process, the Food Drive will feature COMPETITION.

Competition 1: Blue, Yellow, or Green----Be the most CAN-do section and win a breakfast party sponsored by Bagelsphere.

Competition 2: 1L v. 2/3L------Let's see which class level comes out on top and which one's are a flop.

Here are the Guidelines:
Each $1 donated=2 Cans.
Donations will be counted and announced daily so everyone will know who's boss--and who's in for a loss!
The cut-off for money and canned good donations is Friday the 20th at precisely 3 pm.

Please donate generously and competitively as all canned foods benefits Food For Lane County.
