The University of 麻豆传媒色情片 (麻豆传媒色情片) Gulf Park Food Pantry received more than 600 cans of food from the North Bay Civitan Club during the group鈥檚 15th Annual Gobble Wobble Food Drive and Bridge Run.
鈥淓ach year, members select an agency with a food pantry to receive the nonperishables our community donates at the Gobble Wobble,鈥� said Keith Wilson, president of the North Bay Civitan Club of D鈥橧berville-St. Martin.
He added that college students have food needs that often go unmet, especially during the holidays.
鈥淚nflation has been a problem for consumers shopping to cook during the holidays, so each food item makes a difference to someone,鈥� Wilson said.
Jeff Hinton, associate provost for the Gulf Coast and Lifelong Learning Success, agreed.
鈥淲e have members of our university community who occasionally need the food and other items the pantry provides,鈥� he said. 鈥淲e truly appreciate the North Bay Civitan Club and the community for this donation.鈥�
Gobble Wobble participants donated more than 1,200 items, so two other pantries received nonperishable food to help their patrons.
