Alverno College students will help feed those in need by donating 170 Thanksgiving
dinners to Hunger Task Force. The dinners, which include a turkey, mashed potatoes,
gravy, stuffing, green beans, cranberry sauce, rolls and pie, will feed nearly 700
people. The cost of the dinners is $55, and Alverno students used money from their
personal meal plans to pay for the holiday dinners. The Athletics department and Food
Services Inc. also contributed. This is the third year Alverno College students have
donated Thanksgiving dinners. Last year a total of 118 dinners were given to local
charities, feeding nearly 500 people.
“We are proud that our students came through for the community and gave even more
than last year,” said Vicki Schreiber, assistant dean of students. “Thanks to their
generous donations, 170 families who may not have celebrated Thanksgiving will now
have dinner on the table.”
