Project Description

iHelp is the fall campus day of service where over 1,500 students volunteer in various service projects in the Champaign-Urbana community. One of the service projects is a community food drive. Food drive bags and flyers are distributed to houses in Urbana requesting nonperishable food items for volunteers to collect. The collected food is then donated to the Eastern Illinois Foodbank. During iHelp, students are learning the value of volunteering and are being inspired by the spirit of service. For the food drive, all students are invited and encouraged to bring nonperishable items themselves. Those who are going out to collect donations from Urbana houses are educated before they head out. They are given a brief overview of the impact that the food drive makes as well as how they can continue to help hunger problems in central Illinois and the world.
