Trick or Eat—help support UPEI’s Food Bank

| Students

UPEI students are going door to door in Charlottetown to collect non-perishable food items on Friday, October 31 from 5:00-7:00 pm in support of UPEI's food bank. The students will be visiting Queen Elizabeth Drive, Charlotte Drive, Prince Charles Drive, and Goodwill Avenue.

'Trick or Eat' is a national youth-led Halloween food drive event organized by Meal Exchange, a registered charity that empowers student leaders to address hunger in their communities. Since 1993, the charity has raised over $3 million worth of food and engaged over 87,000 youth across North America.

Suggested items include: pasta products/pasta sauce, rice, canned meats and fish, peanut butter, cereal, canned vegetables, dry and canned soups, fruit juices, canned/powdered milk, baby food, diapers, beans, and legumes.

Items can also be donated to the group organizers. All proceeds will support UPEI's Food Bank. Food items can be dropped off to the UPEI Residence Office, Bernadine Hall, 340 (first floor). The office is open from 9:00 am-8:00 pm.

Help support UPEI's food bank, and have a safe and happy Halloween!
