UW-Madison students are being encouraged to help families this holiday season as the university teams up with several organizations to provide food services to those in need.
The School of Library and Information Studies and the Red and White Hunger Fight spent the month of November donating food to local pantries.
The library school raised over 20 pounds of food which was then donated to Second Harvest Foodbank of Southern Wisconsin.
The Red and White Hunger Fight, conducted by members of the Athletic Department, raised approximately four tons of food and over $2,000 for the Community Action Coalition of South-Central Wisconsin.
The Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, along with the UW Athletic Department, will also show their holiday spirit by hosting a toy drive Friday before the men's hockey game at the Kohl Center.
Student athletes will be collecting new and unwrapped toys to be distributed throughout Madison via Toys for Tots.
