Bengal students, faculty, staff, alumni, and fans are uniting to can the Vandals from November 15-20 in the annual Food Fight. In competition with the University of Idaho Alumni Association, the ISU Alumni Association challenges both institutions to collect the most canned foods and monetary donations to help the Idaho Foodbank. All canned food donations can be dropped off at Benny’s Pantry or the Idaho Foodbank on or before November 20. The Alumni and Fan Tailgate on ICCU field to the south of Holt Arena will also have bins for food donations before the rivalry game kickoff at 1:00 p.m. To submit monetary donations, please visit the Idaho Foodbank website.

This good-natured competition will make an impact that reaches far beyond the Pocatello and Moscow campuses. Help can the Vandals and beat hunger in Idaho. For more information contact the Alumni Office at (208) 282-3755.
