Trick or Eat—help support 17³Ô¹Ï’s Food Bank

| Students

17³Ô¹Ï students are going door to door in surrounding neighborhoods to collect non-perishable food items on Wednesday, October 31 from 5-7 pm in support of 17³Ô¹Ï's food bank.

'Trick or Eat' is a national Hallowe'en food drive organized by Meal Exchange, a registered charity that empowers student leaders to address hunger in their communities. Since 1993, the charity has raised over $3M worth of food and engaged over 87,000 youth across North America.

Suggested items include: pasta products/pasta sauce, rice, canned meats and fish, peanut butter, cereal, canned vegetables, dry and canned soups, fruit juices, canned/powdered milk, baby food, diapers, beans and legumes.

Food and/or $1 donations to purchase a paper pumpkin for Bernardine Hall's Hallowe'en pumpkin wall can also be donated to the group organizers. All proceeds will support 17³Ô¹Ï's Food Bank.

Interested in canvassing for the campaign? Contact 17³Ô¹Ï organizers Kaylee Graham, 17³Ô¹Ï Residence Life Advisor at krgraham@upei.ca (902) 218-3772, or Jill Martin, 17³Ô¹Ï Aboriginal Student Society leader at jimartin@upei.ca (902) 394-7750.

Help support 17³Ô¹Ï's food bank, and have a safe and happy Hallowe'en!
