    U Can Crush Hunger Challenge

    October 24–November 11
    Across Campus

    Purdue Fort Wayne has once again joined local colleges and universities in the fight against hunger for the 8th Annual #UCanCrushHunger Campaign to collect funds and/or nonperishable food items. Let's show our school spirit and work together to fight hunger on our campus and in the community. This friendly competition between area colleges and universities will help the Community Harvest Food Bank provide meals to thousands of northeast Indiana families during the holidays, as well as support food pantries on college campuses. Your donations will also benefit efforts to fight food insecurity on our campus.

      Secure Donation Online to The Pantry

      Make a secure donation online directly to The Pantry’s account by selecting Food Pantry. Please note that all funds raised through this option support U Can Crush Hunger, but stay on campus to support our students and the community.
