Ivy Tech holding donation drive for food pantry
Area Ivy Tech Community College campuses are collecting food and hygiene items for students in need.
It is the second year for the Spooky Food Drive to benefit the college’s Ivy Food for Thought Food Pantry. The pantry has helped more than 60 students either using the main pantry, a grab-and-go shelf, or a snack bag.
The drive will be from 10 to 11 a.m. on Thursday at Ivy Tech’s Franklin location at 2205 McClain Drive and from noon to 4 p.m. on Friday at the Ivy Tech Columbus campus on Central Avenue. Collection points will be in the parking lots and you can drive up to drop off.
