The goaltender of the UW-Madison women's soccer team organized an all campus food drive as a part of the Red and White Hunger Fight initiative, which kicked off Monday and will run through Nov. 10.
Goaltender Michele Dalton said she participated in a similar event in high school and wanted to share the idea with the UW-Madison community.
The food drive is run in partnership with the Community Action Coalition and aims to collect food donations before Thanksgiving.
Dalton is pushing to get campus groups, including athletic teams, involved in the initiative through donating food and participating in fundraisers.
Upcoming Red and White Hunger Fight events include Taggers and Baggers, a community food drive, scheduled for Nov. 2 through Nov. 9, BIG Event Day Volunteers, a day of sorting and packing food Nov. 12 and Food Baskets, a day for assembling baskets with CAC Nov. 26.
