Each year, Illinois students and members from the Urbana-Champaign area participate in the annual Community & Campus Day of Service. Recent years have brought out more than 1,500 volunteers to Memorial Stadium who gather around 150 tables to collectively package an abundance of supplies. Ingredients such as rice, soy, vegetables and seasoning are combined into a packaged bag and added to a carton box to be shipped to families and food banks within Illinois.
Register to volunteer here and follow the Day of Service event on Facebook or on Twitter or by using the hashtags #ILLINOISservice and #CCDOS2016.
