With area food banks running on short supplies, Campus Recreation is proud to announce that the Student Fitness Center will serve as a collection site for non-perishable, non-expired goods.

Donations will be given to Clare House food pantry in Bloomington. In an effort to break the goal of 1,000 total goods collected, Campus Recreation will be handing out a variety of prizes to those who donate a minimum of five or 10 items. 

“Campus Recreation recognizes the dire need that community food banks are experiencing, and we would like to challenge our members to make a difference right in their own backyard,” said Valerie Curtis, coordinator for Leadership and Event Management. “Even donating a single can of food can have a big effect in someone’s life.”

All donations can be checked in with Student Fitness Center team members at the Bob and Julie Dobski Welcome Center during normal facility hours. For more information, please call (309) 438-7058.
