Are you hungry?

Hunger is a serious problem facing the world, and Circle K International wants to address it. Because of the current worldwide economic crisis, hunger has become even more prevalent. In an effort to put food in the hands of those who need it most, CKI’s partner, Students Team Up To Fight Hunger (STUFH), will be organizing end-of-year food drives at college campuses across the United States.

For the last two weeks of the school year, as students prepare to leave for the summer, STUFH will arrange for collection bins to be placed in dorm or residence halls on campus so students can donate unused food, rather than discard it.

Last year, the STUFH food drive received significant support from CKI clubs across the country during its end-of-college-year food drive, resulting in the collection of more than 1 million pounds of food at more than 70 colleges in 27 states. This year, CKI members can again help feed hungry men, women and children in their local communities by promoting STUFH.

Contact Dan Kahn and CKI Service Ambassador Michael Zebrowski for more information on how your CKI club can help and visit the STUFH Web site for more news and statistics.
