Big Red Food Drive - Looking for Volunteers!

Do you have leftover BRBs and want to utilize them for a good cause? Donate your extra BRBs to the Big Red Food Drive!

The Big Red Food Drive is Cornell Hunger Relief's (CHR) annual food donation effort. As part of this drive, CHR encourages students to use any BRBs they have left at the end of the year to buy non-perishable food items, which we collect near on-campus convenience stores. Every year, CHR donates all collected food items to the Friendship Donations Network, a local hunger relief program that redistributes the donations to community members in need.

The Big Red Food Drive will take place Sunday, May 7th - Sunday, May 22nd in the RPCC lobby and Noyes Community Center.

HOW TO DONATE: Bring any of the listed items to CHR's collection bins in the RPCC lobby and Noyes Community Center or buy non-perishable items at Bear Necessities or Jansen’s and drop them off at our bins in the lobbies of Noyes and RPCC.

Preferred items:
- peanut butter
- granola bars
- cereal (low in sugar)
- kid-friendly healthy snacks
- nuts
- beans, lentils or brown rice
- raisins and other dried fruit
- whole wheat pasta
- crackers
- canned fruits
- canned vegetables
**Cans with pop-top lids are preferred when possible because many people do not have access to a can opener.
Personal care items are also very important for our community partners, especially feminine hygiene products. We would be happy to accept any of these items as well.

VOLUNTEER: Sign up here.
