Trick or Eat—help support UPEI’s Food Bank

| Students

UPEI students are going door to door in surrounding neighborhoods to collect non-perishable food items on Wednesday, October 31 from 5-7 pm in support of UPEI's food bank.

'Trick or Eat' is a national Hallowe'en food drive organized by Meal Exchange, a registered charity that empowers student leaders to address hunger in their communities. Since 1993, the charity has raised over $3M worth of food and engaged over 87,000 youth across North America.

Suggested items include: pasta products/pasta sauce, rice, canned meats and fish, peanut butter, cereal, canned vegetables, dry and canned soups, fruit juices, canned/powdered milk, baby food, diapers, beans and legumes.

Food and/or $1 donations to purchase a paper pumpkin for Bernardine Hall's Hallowe'en pumpkin wall can also be donated to the group organizers. All proceeds will support UPEI's Food Bank.

Interested in canvassing for the campaign? Contact UPEI organizers Kaylee Graham, UPEI Residence Life Advisor at krgraham@upei.ca (902) 218-3772, or Jill Martin, UPEI Aboriginal Student Society leader at jimartin@upei.ca (902) 394-7750.

Help support UPEI's food bank, and have a safe and happy Hallowe'en!
