University of Colorado football fans will have a chance to help Â鶹¹ÙÍøÂ’s needy families while they cheer on the Buffs by donating food at the Oct. 17 home game.

CU-Â鶹¹ÙÍø and Community Food Share will host a food drive at Folsom Stadium on Saturday, Oct. 17, when the Buffs take on Texas Tech. Canned and other non-perishable food or money contributions will be collected by student athletes and various CU coaches as fans enter the stadium.

A free pass to a CU menÂ’s or womenÂ’s basketball or volleyball game will be given to each person who makes a contribution.

The day before the game, Oct. 16, is World Food Day, devoted to increasing awareness, understanding and informed action on world hunger.

All donations will go to Community Food Share of Â鶹¹ÙÍø.

The food drive is co-hosted by CUÂ’s Athletic Department, the Student Athlete Advisory Committee, the Office of Community Relations and the ChancellorÂ’s Office.

For additional information, contact the CU-Â鶹¹ÙÍø Office of Community Relations at 492-8384.
