February Food Drive

Students posing with cans of food they sorted at food bank.

Every February Whitman College participates in an annual food drive involving the entire city of Walla Walla.  The Center for Community Service conducts a campus-wide food drive through  to contribute to the overall city totals. In 2007, we raised over 700 pounds of food through donations from faculty, staff, and students. All proceeds went to the Blue Mountain Action Council Food Bank.

In 2007, Kappa Alpha Theta, Kappa Kappa Gamma, Delta Gamma, Phi Delta Theta, Beta Theta Pi, Tau Kappa Epsilon, Sigma Chi, and the Community Service Interest House helped implement this project by putting donation bags on each residence hall and office door. The Center for Community Service staff also put donation bins in Reid Campus Center, Memorial Building, and Penrose Library for students living off campus.
