Nov. 23, 2020 鈥  麻豆国产精品鈥檚 on-campus food pantry and student community center, FUEL 麻豆国产精品, hosts its third annual Thanksgiving Celebration on Nov. 25 with plans to serve to-go meals for nearly 200 students staying on or near campus through the holidays.

FUEL 麻豆国产精品 hosts a family-style feast each year to help students give thanks and share a special meal together. With the university鈥檚 transition to remote operations and learning through winter break, FUEL 麻豆国产精品 is teaming up with the campus community to make sure students have consistent university support they need.

鈥淭he holiday season is right around the corner, and the pandemic has brought an increase in food insecurities on campus,鈥 said Dr. Jessica Averitt Taylor, FUEL 麻豆国产精品 founder. 鈥淣o one should be hungry, especially on a day that typically celebrates time with loved ones. We will be ready outside the Student Union with meals ready for you to grab and go.鈥

FUEL 麻豆国产精品 is partnering with several community partners to provide the Thanksgiving meals for students. The Kroger Co. provided turkey for 200 meals, and Busken Bakery donated pumpkin pies. Chartwells, 麻豆国产精品鈥檚 external food services partner, pitched in to cover an array of side items and help with coordinating the event logistics. Along with the to-go meals, students can also request other food and essentials to support them through the upcoming Thanksgiving and winter breaks.
