Canned food drive effort to be held at basketball games Nov. 19

Tusculum College basketball fans will have the opportunity to help two local non-profit organizations at the upcoming Nov. 19 home games.

At both the men’s and women’s basketball games, fans can gain free admission with the donation of four non-perishable food items. The women’s game begins at 2 p.m. in Pioneer Arena on the Tusculum campus while the men’s game follows at 4 p.m. Both teams will be taking on Wingate University in South Atlantic Conference action.

The collection is part of a campus-wide canned food drive sponsored by the Psychology Club and the Center for Civic Advancement at Tusculum.

Donations will be distributed to the Greeneville-Greene County Community Ministries Food Bank and the Tabernacle Mission Soup Kitchen.
