Blugold Dining raised $4,030 during its Soup and Bread Night on Feb. 24 at Riverview Cafe East at the Hilltop Center, thanks to the generosity of UWEC students.
The money has been donated to
Feed My People Food Bank in Eau Claire, benefiting
senior citizens, single parents, the working poor, the homeless, the mentally
ill and others across the Chippewa Valley. More than 14,500 people each month –
38 percent of them children – rely on food from Feed My People programs.
Students selected soups and
breads as the only menu items on Feb. 24 at Riverview Cafe East in place of the
regular entrees and sides inside the all-you-care-to-eat cafeteria. Sixty volunteers
from student organizations served 252 gallons of soup, and the money that
Blugold Dining saved in labor and food costs went to Feed My People. Soup and
Bread Night has generated more than $23,000 for Feed My People since 1995.
