The Community Service Office at Lock Haven, part of Āé¶¹Ö±²„, hosted its annual Hunger Bowl competition during the month of October. Student clubs and organizations were charged to collect non-perishable food items to donate to local food banks. Donations benefited the Haven Cupboard campus food pantry. This year, faculty and staff were also encouraged to participate in the competition.

A total of 3,715 food items were donated by 16 clubs and organizations and 810 faculty and staff groups - more than 1,330 items over last year’s donation total. 

Smith Hall, came in first place with 791 items donated. They were awarded a $100 donation from Student Auxiliary Services into their club account, a certificate, and the honor of signing the Hunger Bowl trophy donated and handmade by Vance McCoy, LHU professor. 

The ā€œNo Limitsā€ team from the Stevenson Library came in first place for faculty and staff with 810 items donated and will enjoy lunch on President Bashar Hanna at a restaurant of their choosing.

ā€œLock Haven’s Hunger Bowl epitomizes the spirit of giving and is a wonderful way for our students, faculty, and staff to serve the local community. Congratulations and thank you to the winning teams and all who participated for their generosity,ā€ said Bashar W. Hanna, president.

In early November, the LHU men’s soccer team volunteered to deliver the items to the Cupboard.
