OSU, OSU-Cascades food drive tops last year’s totals
CORVALLIS, Ore. (KTVZ) – Despite obstacles presented by COVID-19, this year’s Oregon State University Food Drive surpassed last year’s successful campaign, raising the equivalent of 467,378 meals.
OSU students, faculty and staff collaborated across the university to beat last year’s total by 74,783 meals. Each dollar raised equals three meals.
“Our food drive coordinators are always extraordinarily creative,” said Shelly Signs, OSU food drive chair and director of university events. “Because most Oregon State employees have not returned to campus yet, the usual fundraising events weren’t possible. Through hard work and thinking outside the box, the campus community managed to beat last year’s totals.”
