Quinnipiac University Students Rally to Donate Four Tons of Food to Local Organizations

Quinnipiac University students have contributed four tons of food in their latest community service effort. This contribution was part of the 16th annual 'Be Kind Leave Your Food Behind' food drive. The initiative encourages students to donate nonperishable food items and unused meal plan points as they leave for summer break.

Vincent Contrucci, the university's director of community engagement, organized the food drive. He noted the students' strong support for the initiative and its positive effects on the local community.

To collect donations, 163 boxes were placed across the university's Mount Carmel and York Hill campuses. This setup helped ensure a smooth collection process.

This year's food drive supported several local organizations, including Master’s Manna of Wallingford, the New Haven Pride Center, New Reach of New Haven, and QU’s Bobcat Food Share program. These groups address food insecurity in the area, making them key partners for the initiative.
