Sort Squad Week

Trick or Treat for Canned Goods is an incredible event — which produces a mountain of food that needs sorting. And by mountain, we mean roughly 10,000 lbs of canned goods! Help turn these donations into impact! During Sort Squad Week, volunteers will sort and organize all the collected food for the UISCares Food Pantry and the Central Illinois Foodbank

Halloween Care Package Assembly

Join fellow students in making a positive impact through an on-campus kindness project! Participants will complete a hands-on service activity benefiting a local nonprofit organization. By partnering with the Triple Heart Foundation, this project will let participants take part in putting together children's books in care packages to give to families navigating the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) journey. Make a meaningful impact on families this Halloween by stopping by the SLC Multipurpose Room in the Student Union to lend a hand.  

Trick or Treat for Canned Goods Team Registrations Due Sunday, 10/18

Trick or Treat for Canned Goods is a fun canned goods donation drive. Students, Faculty, and Staff form teams and the week before Halloween each team canvasses a neighborhood armed with fliers, door hangers, and T-shirts identifying themselves and the project. On Saturday, October 31, the teams return to their neighborhood to collect canned good rather than candy. All the food is brought back to a weigh-in party where volunteers gather to see how much they collected, learn from community members, and find out who collected the most food. All items go to fight food insecurity on campus.
