This year’s Donations for Citations drive was the largest ever, netting more than two tons of food and personal care items for UK’s Big Blue Pantry.
UK students and employees donated more than 4,358 pounds of staples, topping last year’s amount by more than 1,300 pounds. In all, 452 people took part in this year’s food drive.
This is the eighth year for the Donations for Citations program, which helps stock Big Blue Pantry’s (BBP) shelves. Since its inception in 2016, nearly 21,500 pounds of food have been collected and delivered to the Pantry.
