GRAND FORKS, N.D. -
The University of North Dakota Student-Athlete Advisory Council (SAAC),
in conjunction with the UND Mortar Board, will conduct a food drive in Grand
Forks on Wednesday, Oct. 14 to help provide Thanksgiving meals for needy area
families.
UND
student-athletes will go door-to-door in neighborhoods throughout Grand Forks
from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. and will collect any non-perishable food items from
those wishing to donate.
SAAC president
and senior baseball player Josh Lagein encourages the community to donate.
"SAAC
is excited about the food drive this year," said Lagein. "We collected about
2,700 cans last year and we're really hoping to go above and beyond that number
this year. We know the Grand Forks community is generous and we appreciate the
support."
The
student-athletes will be identifiable by their official uniforms.
For
more information, contact SAAC president Josh Lagein through the UND athletics
media relations office at 701.777.2985.
