Vanderbilt and Tennessee have partnered to help tackle hunger by competing in a food drive before going head to head in football. The canned food drive began on Sunday and runs until 2 p.m. on Friday, November 20 on Vanderbilt’s and Tennessee’s campus. The on-campus donation locations are listed below. Those unable to donate in person, may also contribute online through Second Harvest.
All donations will go to the Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee. At the conclusion of the drive, the amount of food collected will be calculated and the winner will be announced at halftime of Vanderbilt’s game at Tennessee on November 28, 2015.
