31st Annual Food Drive Extended!

Dear Members of the CMU Community:

We appreciate the outpouring of generosity you have shown for Carnegie Mellon's 31st Annual Food Drive. To date we have raised nearly $64,000 toward our $100,000 goal! If you haven't already, please make your Food Drive gift today. Team pages are still active, so check the leaderboard and show your support!

Thanks to your contributions, we continue to inch closer to reaching this year's goal of $100,000 plus nonperishable items. In addition, we are on pace with where we were this time last year and anticipate many of you still plan to participate. To that end, we have decided to extend the drive to get us to the finish line!

As you consider your possible gift for this year’s drive, please remember that for every $1 raised, Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank can provide three meals. Achieving our goal will provide 300,000 meals for our neighbors in need this holiday season!

You can also drop off nonperishables for the Food Bank or can openers for the CMU Pantry at our last in-person event TODAY:

Drive & Drop
Monday, Nov. 11, 1-3 p.m., East Campus Garage

Thank you for your anticipated support!

Sincerely,

Jim Garrett
