Description
Did you know more than 38 million people, including 12 million children, in the United States are food insecure? In Alabama, 1 in 6 people and 1 in 5 children face food insecurity every day. Knowing where your next meal comes from should be a right and not a privilege.
Since 1994, Auburn University and the Food Bank of East Alabama have united students, faculty, alumni, and community members to help fight hunger and poverty in East Alabama by challenging the University of Alabama and the West Alabama Food Bank to see who can collect more non-perishable food to help those in need.
This good-natured competition has made an impact that reaches far beyond the campuses where it began. Since its inception in 1994, the competition has raised over 8 million pounds of food for Alabamians without proper access to food.
