We hope you are having a great summer so far. At the KHK Pantry we have been busy helping our fellow Knights through Summer A. So far this semester we have had 639lbs of food donated; however 183.5 was expired and had to be thrown away and over 400 visitors that were provided with over 1700lbs of food.
Although we have food drives scheduled throughout this next year, none of them will provide food for Summer B so, we thought we would have a Summer B-“box and bag” food drive. This “B” theme means any nonperishable food packaged in a box or a bag is what we would like to collect. Some examples are pasta, mac & cheese, cereal and Ramen.
In order to make this interesting, we would like to make it competition between donation boxes. The department’s donation box that collects the most pounds of usable food will receive: their picture on our web site homepage, a certificate and balloons for the office! The food drive will run from Monday June 4th-Thursday June 14th.
The locations of the donation boxes are:
Student Union – Information Desk
Ferrel Commons – KHK Pantry (Room 171)
Colbourn Hall – Writing and Rhetoric (Room 301)
Colbourn Hall – History department (Room 551)
Colbourn Hall – CAHSA College of Arts and Humanities (Room 201)
Colbourn Hall – Women’s studies (Room 114)

Nicholson School of Communication – 2nd Floor (Room 214)
College of Business 2 – Undergraduate Student Services (Room 101w)

Volunteers will come around twice a week to collect donations from the boxes. We will weigh the food and keep a tally of the usable pounds per box donated and contact the winning department on the 15th. We will also let everyone know the total amount collected by e-mail.
If you have any questions please contact Nicole Preston at Nicole.Preston@ucf.edu
Have a great weekend and remember, when shopping “boxes and bags” are the best for Summer B!
