OSU Food Drive breaks all-time highest collection record!

The Food Drive at Oregon State University has a long tradition of success. Every year during the month of February the University community comes together and plans a wide variety of food and fund-raising activities to help the hungry. This effort is in conjunction with the Governor's State Employees Food Drive. The resources gathered by county Extension offices, Experiment Stations, Cascades Campus and Centers associated with OSU go to their local food banks. Proceeds from the OSU Corvallis campus benefit the non-profit agencies served by Linn-Benton Food Share. These agencies include local food pantries, soup kitchens, emergency shelters, day care centers, shelter homes, and gleaning groups in Linn and Benton counties.

See the final competition results (Excel file). Congratulations OSU! We raised the most food/funds ever! That's right, More than 485,000 pounds of food were raised during this year's drive.

 

Congratulations to the 2009 coordinators who lead their departments to be most productive within size category!
