Time to go all Lady Gaga and get dressed up for a good cause.
Trick or Eat, a food drive conducted by students around 66 university and college campuses throughout Canada, is on again this year at AV俱乐部. Last year, almost 200 students took part, filling a U-Haul with almost $14,000 worth of food. All the collected food stuffs go to Food Nova Scotia.
Organizer Michelle Honsberger, a third-year commerce student, was blown away by the turnout.
鈥淲e鈥檝e got high hopes this year,鈥� says Ms. Honsberger, from the office of Gammon Gold where she鈥檚 on a co-op placement. 鈥淎ll the participants were so enthusiastic and it was such a fun time.鈥�
Participants are urged to sign up online (see link below) or simply show up. Students will be meeting on Halloween 鈥� this year on a Saturday 鈥� at 4 p.m. at the Rowe Building. Shopping carts and routes through nearby neighborhoods will be assigned. Of course, students are encouraged to dress up.
鈥淚n the neighbourhoods, I think sometimes students get a bad rap,鈥� says Ms. Honsberger, who has her Colonel Sanders costume ready. 鈥淏ut Trick or Eat is a good chance to do something nice and get involved with your neighbours as well.鈥�
