UTK vs Kent State Food Recovery

Help us fight food insecurity on campus and in Knoxville's communities by joining us for an awesome night of recovering leftover food from Neyland Stadium after the UTK vs. Kent State game! We will collect food from the stadium, then transport it to the Culinary Institute, where it is used by the Food4Vols program to make free ready-to-heat and ready-to-eat meals for those experiencing food insecurity. 

Volunteers will meet outside gate 21 at Neyland Stadium. Together we will walk to our first collection site, where we will begin consolidating food into hot carts to be transported to the Culinary Institute. Volunteer start time is subject to change depending on the when the game ends, and supervisors will communicate with volunteers during and after the game to ensure volunteers know if there are any adjustments to the meeting time or place. If you are unable to serve the entire shift, do not let this discourage you from signing up! Instead, reach out to us to let us know your time constraints and availability.

We encourage all volunteers to join our Food Recovery GroupMe, as this will be our main form of communication leading up to the recovery event. If you do not have GroupMe yet, it is free to use through both the app and website.
