Last year, Colonel's Cupboard Virtual Food Drive donors helped us raise more than $10,000 to feed students in need! Will you join us to make an even bigger impact this month during our annual virtual campaign? Your financial contribution will help us provide essential fresh foods like vegetables, fruits, eggs, and milk, as well as frozen foods. Will you make a gift today and help us reach our goal of 350 gifts before December 1? Every gift makes an impact. A $5 gift will provide five meals, so the support you provide will give relief to many students at EKU. Be sure to indicate your student organization or department when you make your gift because we will announce the department and organization with the most donors at the end of the campaign.
