Once again, the generosity and compassion of Ole Miss students is taking center stage. Volunteers and donations are needed to help Ole Miss students and the L-O-U community put service into action this weekend at the 2014 Feed the Hunger Pack-a-Thon. Participants at the Pack-A-Thon will team up during two-hour shifts at the Jackson Avenue Center to package thousands of life-saving meals for hungry children both in the United States and overseas. Shifts for this weekend\u2019s event are:<\/p>\n

Friday, Feb. 28 from 6:30-8:30 p.m.
\nSaturday, March 1 from 9-11 a.m., 12-2 p.m. and 3-5 p.m.<\/p>\n

It was not surprising to me to learn that Ole Miss was the first university to host a Pack-a-Thon. Now in its fourth year, the goal is raise $38,000, which will provide funds to purchase nutritious items to fill 140,000 packs. Event organizers are also asking each volunteer to bring items that will support two local charities, More than a Meal and Lovepacks. Requested items are:<\/p>\n

More Than A Meal
\n<\/i>Name tags
\nPaper towels
\nToilet paper
\nMen’s deodorant
\nLaundry Detergent
\nBackpacks (new or used)<\/p>\n

Lovepacks<\/i>
\n<\/i>Pop top vegetable or chicken noodle soup
\nBoxes of granola bars
\nPeanut butter crackers<\/p>\n
