Thanks to the enthusiasm, dedication and commitment of the Food Drive Committee, this year’s event turned out to be the most successful food drive for the College of Veterinary Medicine ever! The final unofficial result is 21,174 pounds of food.
Dr. Clarke commended the committee, “Thanks, all, for doing such a fantastic job. Your efforts are yet another demonstration of your commitment to public service.” Committee members were Jana Gordon (chair), Ashly Bradley, Josie Corliss, Kristi Crowfoot, Melanie Garrett, Pat Hutson, Robyn Panico, Debrah Rarick, Mandy Seals and Lindy Young. Events that helped to bring in donations included a raffle for OSU basketball tickets donated by Terry Robertson, a second raffle for the grand prize of a $100 Visa gift card donated by CVM administration, a silent auction, ice cream social, various themed food sales, cash donation challenges, and payroll deductions.
Drs. Jana Gordon and Patrick Carney canvassed their neighborhoods asking for food donations and came away with boxes of food that were added to the food drive bins. All donations go to the Linn-Benton Food Share. Thanks to the Food Drive Committee for all their hard work and thanks to everyone who donated both food and/or cash.
