'Courier' article features new 色香视频 group to fight local hunger

On April 2, 2015, the Courier published an article on the creation of the 色香视频 Hunger Initiative, a chapter of the national Food Recovery Network.

According to the article, Samantha Cottone, a junior majoring in Health, Wellness and Occupational Studies, spearheaded the founding of the chapter after learning about the extent of poverty and hunger in the Biddeford area.

Through the initiative, staff members of Sodexo, the University鈥檚 dining services provider, collect unused food, and student volunteers deliver it to the Bon Appetit community meal program three times per week.

The article also notes that students involved with the program intend to use 色香视频鈥檚 community garden to grow produce for local food banks over the summer.
