In response, the health club teamed up with the Health Education Association of Utah (HEAU) to collect canned, boxed and dry products, as well as items such as diapers and toothpaste to donate to the Utah Food Bank and Community Action Services of Utah. The drive was in conjunction with HEAU’s spring conference on March 6, and ran through March 5.
The goal for the food drive at the conference was a minimum of three items per person. All donations were collected at any of three drop-off locations on campus: PE 147, SC 101, or the north entrance of the LA building.
