Earlier this month, incoming first-year students at Monmouth University took part in a two-day orientation to learn about the University and meet their fellow classmates. In addition to touring the campus and experiencing a live class, the students also took the time to fight hunger in their community.
Non-perishable food items were collected from from June 30-July 25 and were delivered to the FoodBank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties by Lowy’s Moving Service, a Wheaton agent. In total, Monmouth University’s new student orientation collected 275 pounds of food, which equates to approximately 229 meals for families in their community!
Monmouth University has been a frequent supporter of Move For Hunger over the years, and has now collected over 5,000 lbs of food - that's over 4,150 meals - all time. With nearly 126,000 individuals struggling to find their next meal in the area, Monmouth University is certainly making a difference by fighting hunger today and educating the next generation on the importance of the cause.
