"Schools of the SEC Food Fight": Benefitting Jane B. Gearhart Full Circle Food Pantry
Calling all Hog fans!
For the past few weeks, Razorback teams have been climbing the leaderboards, showing everyone in the SEC who's top hawg, but now we have another chance to prove we're the best in the SEC! The Jane B. Gearhart Full Circle Food Pantry is proud to announce our first ever Schools of the SEC Food Fight!
This competitive food drive will take place from April 5 to April 17, and we'll be competing against Alabama, Ole Miss, Georgia, Mizzou, South Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky and Auburn to see which school can bring in the most donations for their pantry! The school with the most points wins bragging rights as the best school in the SEC, and you can help out Full Circle by donating the following items:
- hygiene products = 4 points per item
- food items = 3 points per item
- financial donation = 2 points per $1
You can drop off donations in the bin outside the pantry at any time, or you can leave them with a pantry board member during our Monday open hours (11 a.m. to 3 p.m.) or Thursday open hours (10 a.m. to 2 p.m.). You can locate the pantry in the back of the Walton residence hall at 324 Stadium Dr, Fayetteville, AR 72701.
If you have any questions or would like to set up a drop-off time for a large group donation, please email our Food Drives Coordinator at fcdrives@uark.edu.
If you'd like to financially contribute to the Full Circle Food Pantry, you can go to the Full Circle Food Pantry giving page here or contact the office of Student Affairs Development — Ben Carter at bcarter@uark.edu or at 479-575-4663.
Let's show everyone who the best school in the SEC is and show off that Razorback pride! WPS!!
