As you probably know, the recent ice storm and weather conditions have hit many people hard, leaving them without electricity, housing, food, and other necessities.
Our local We Care Ministries is struggling to provide food not only to Weakley county residents, but to those coming from Fulton, South Fulton, and other many other areas. Vegetarian society started a mass, campus-wide food drive to collect food for We Care and the Kentucky ice storm victims, with the help of all students and student organizations.
Items collected included non-perishable or canned goods, especially beans, pastas and sauces, soups, granola bars, cereals, oatmeal, peanut butter, crackers, canned fruits and veggies, and even pet food.
The some food that was collected was delivered to Murray State University, and then distributed around Calloway Co. Many families that received the supplies were without water and electricity for almost a month. Many of the families that received the supplies work for Murray State University. One family’s apartment had caught on fire during the storm, and because there was also no water at the time, they lost everything. Help from student organizations such as the vegetarian society, helped to reach these families that were in desperate need.
