With more than 14,000 pounds of non-perishable food collected across campus this past December, Western played a key role in the record-breaking success of this year’s city-wide Business Cares Food Drive.
More than 218,000 pounds of food was collected for the London Food Bank – up from last year by about 37 per cent.
“It’s a been a tough year in the community, and when things get tough you can always count on the Western community and their boundless generosity,” says Western Cares Food Drive co-chair Scott May, noting the support of more than 30 ‘building champions’ helped spread the word.
“There is no one person that can be singled out. This only happens because the entire campus worked together on a common cause. And the numbers don’t lie.”
