PVM Participates in Purdue Campus Drive for Food Finders Food Bank

During this trying time, food insecurity is striking  those of all walks of life, including children, seniors, and families. For the next two weeks, April 6-17, Purdue Veterinary Medicine is participating in the 2020 Purdue University College to College Food Drive Challenge to monetarily support the Food Finders Food Bank, Inc.  You can show your support by making a charitable donation through the PVM support page

As a leading hunger relief organization for North Central Indiana, Food Finders Food Bank collaborates with other organizations to provide food for people in need and to educate, advocate, and address food insecurity in North Central Indiana. Last year, the organization distributed 9.6 million pounds or 8 million meals through its network of agency partners and programs.  And demand has been growing in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.  Food Finders serves 110 partner agencies across 16 counties and 6,500 square miles.  When everyone is pulling together to help each other through these challenging times, consider helping out with PVM’s participation in the College to College Food Drive Challenge to benefit Food Finders Food Bank.
