| STUFH ( Students team
Up - Fight Hunger) is a Section 501C3 not-for-profit corporation
dedicated to linking food banks with their local colleges and universities
for two purposes: to raise food for the needy in the local community
and to raise awareness of these needs upon the local student population.
The main focus of STUFH comes at the end of a school year when students
are departing their apartments and dormitories. Rather than discarding
unopened non-perishable foodstuffs into trash bins as they leave,
STUFH substitutes food bins for these unwanted items. Since the
program began in 1999 at Cornell University, over one million pounds
of foodstuffs have been raised for local food banks to feed the
hungry. It is the mission of STUFH to increase this gathering of
food at college campuses throughout the country, which will link
the hearts and souls of college students with their less fortunate
hungry neighbors. |
