Jamestown  (UJ)   On April 30 and May 1, UJ collected nonperishable food items for their “Jimmies for Generosity” Food Drive. As a result, 613 pounds of food and necessities were collected and delivered to Community Action Region VI.

UJ President, Dr. Polly Peterson says, “We are so thankful to the community for their support of our efforts to collect items for our local food pantry.

Although these are trying times, it is amazing to see how the community has banded together to make a difference.”

The food drive was put on with social distancing in mind. The public was asked to place donations in University of Jamestown’s Booster Club Trailer, which was located in the Liechty Center Taber Hall parking lot.
