UHV students donate $2,000 to food bank through meal plans

UHV students present a $2,000 check on Wednesday to Robin Cadle, second from left, CEO of the Food Bank of the Golden Crescent and a UHV alumna. Students donated the money as part of the university’s annual Food Fight fundraiser, which allows students to donate the value of meals from their meal plans at Jaguar Hall Dining. The university, in partnership with Chartwells, converts those meals into dollars.
