The Circle K International group at the University of Michigan hosted their fourth annual "Trick or Can" food drive this Halloween. The student-led organization handed out fliers, which urged residents in Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti to donate non-perishable food items to help their neighbors in need. The students returned on October 31 to collect the donations.
We're happy to report that the group set a new "Trick or Can" record this year by collecting more than 2,700 pounds of food - that's the equivalent of 2,300 meals!
University Moving and Storage of Farmington Hills donated boxes for the collection and volunteered to deliver the donations to the Food Gatherers food bank.
There are over 50,000 people, including 1 in 7 children, in Washtenaw County who face hunger each day. Thank you to the students, University Moving and Storage, and everyone who made a donation for helping put meals on the plates of those in need.
