ULLIN —Shawnee Community College is joining community colleges across Illinois this fall to help address food insecurity through the second annual Feed The Need Campus Food Drive. Until Dec. 1, SCC will collect non-perishable food items on campus, with donations benefiting Bernie’s Place on main campus and the College’s extension centers.
The statewide initiative, organized by the Illinois Community College Board , engages campuses in a friendly competition while serving a critical need. Last year, Illinois community colleges collectively donated more than 91,000 food items to support students and families across the state.
