1,000+ pounds and 1,000+ dollars for #HungerActionMonth

October 9, 2020

Dear Heritage College community,

Earlier this month, I challenged you to help alleviate food insecurity in our communities by taking part in Heritage College Stock the Pantry events. Our last fundraising event concluded this week, and I couldn’t be more excited to share our collective results:

Together, our three campuses donated 1,109 pounds of food and raised $1,004 on behalf of local food pantries!

To the many students, faculty and staff who participated in this #HCOMmunityService opportunity: THANK YOU! The generosity of the Heritage College community never ceases to amaze me!

Sincerely,

Ken Johnson, D.O.
Chief Medical Affairs Officer, Ohio University, and
Executive Dean, Heritage College
