The University of Arizona is currently holding its annual community and employee food drive, UA4Food. From March 1-April 5 donations of non-perishable food items will be accepted in UA4Food boxes across campus and during food drives organized by UA4Food ambassadors. All donations benefit the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona. Check the UA4Food website for participating departments and ambassadors. Give easily and securely through the Community Food Bank's virtual giving center at http://www.communityfoodbank.org/UA4Food.

The drive concludes on April 5, with the Stuff the CatTran event. From 7 a.m.-6 p.m., organizers will attempt to fill an entire Cat Tran with food donations. The CatTran will be parked in the passenger drop-off zone at north Cherry Avenue and east University Boulevard, so there will be access for the community to drive up and drop off your donations. Monetary donations will also be accepted. For every $1 donated, the Community Food Bank can distribute four meals.

Some of the most needed food items include:

  • peanut butter
  • cereal/granola bars
  • canned soups
  • canned fruit
  • canned vegetables
  • canned tomato products
  • canned meat
  • rice/pasta
