Students Team Up to Fight Hunger (STUFH)

What is it? O Began in 1999 O At Cornell University O Dedicated to linking food banks with local colleges and universities for two purposes: O To collect food for those who need it most. O To raise awareness of these needs upon the local student population. O The main focus comes at the end of a school year when students move out of apartments and dorms. O Rather than discarding unopened non-perishable foodstuffs into trash bins as they leave, STUFH supplies food bins for students to donate these unwanted items.

What is it?(cont.) O The mission is to increase this gathering of food at college campuses throughout the country. O Which will link the hearts and souls of college students with their less fortunate hungry neighbors. O Since the program began more than 1 million pounds of foodstuffs have been raised for food banks to feed the hungry.

What can you do to help? O The best way you can help this organization is by donating the food you do not want to take home to STUFH. O For more information:
