DONATE TO MILLION MEALS CHALLENGE
Â
RALEIGH - NC State is joining forces with its ACC rivals to fight hunger in North Carolina. NC State, along with UNC Chapel Hill, Duke and Wake Forest, will participate in the "Million Meals Challenge".
Â
The Million Meals Challenge is a statewide initiative in collaboration with Harris Teeter and NC Food Banks.
Â
The collaborative effort to provide one million meals for North Carolinians will be fueled by significant involvement on and off the respective campuses, as well as through in-store food drives at area Harris Teeter locations. Harris Teeter's number one priority is eliminating hunger, and last year the Matthews, N.C.-based grocery chain donated more than $9.4 million and 5.5 million pounds of food to hundreds of nonprofit organizations that qualify through the Corporate Contributions guidelines.
Â
WOLFPACK CHARITABLE INITIATIVES
Â
NC State and the other three ACC schools will be reaching out individually to their respective student body, alumni and campus communities to help donate their time, money and/or food in support of the "The Million Meals Challenge". Additionally, a food drive will be held during an ACC men's basketball game at each respective school to mark the campaign's conclusion.
Â
The endeavor was developed and will be activated by the schools' respective athletics multimedia rights holders: Wolfpack Sports Properties, Tar Heel Sports Properties, Blue Devil IMG Sports Marketing and Wake Forest IMG Sports Marketing.
Â
"Eradicating hunger across North Carolina is a special initiative that all of us believe must be addressed through the support of Wolfpack teams and neighboring institutions and we are proud to be a small part of the answer to this issue," NC State Director of Athletics Debbie Yow said.
