Ivy Tech hosting “spooky” food collection for student pantry

Ivy Tech Community College in Columbus will be collecting canned goods for its student food pantry next week with a Halloween themed event.

All of the collected items will be distributed to students in need in the local service area, including Bartholomew, Decatur, Jackson, Jennings, Johnson, and Shelby counties.

The school is looking for donations of canned vegetables, fruits, meats and sauces, along with pasta and can openers.

The canned food drive will be from 10 to 3 on Wednesday at Moravec Hall on Central Avenue in Columbus. There will be a drive-through donation line set up to help you drop off your items.

The food drive is sponsored by Ivy Tech’s Phi Theta Kappa National Honor Society.
