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

| Students

17³Ô¹Ï students are going door to door in Charlottetown to collect non-perishable food items on Friday, October 31 from 5:00-7:00 pm in support of 17³Ô¹Ï's food bank. The students will be visiting Queen Elizabeth Drive, Charlotte Drive, Prince Charles Drive, and Goodwill Avenue.

'Trick or Eat' is a national youth-led Halloween food drive event organized by Meal Exchange, a registered charity that empowers student leaders to address hunger in their communities. Since 1993, the charity has raised over $3 million 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.

Items can also be donated to the group organizers. All proceeds will support 17³Ô¹Ï's Food Bank. Food items can be dropped off to the 17³Ô¹Ï Residence Office, Bernadine Hall, 340 (first floor). The office is open from 9:00 am-8:00 pm.

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