#UHartInspires: UHart Students Donate to Foodshare as They Move-Out

Students who returned to campus March 28-31 to move out of residence halls filled two bins with nonperishable food that they no longer needed. Foodshare, the regional food bank for Hartford and Tolland counties, picked up the donated food on April 13.

A limited number of students returned on staggered schedules that followed CDC guidelines on social distancing, minimal numbers of people, and hygiene protocols. More students will be allowed to pick up their belongings later this spring or summer.

Foodshare is grateful for the students’ generosity because food insecurity is growing as more people lose their jobs during the coronavirus outbreak.

Thank you UHart students, reslife staff, and facilities for thinking of others and making this donation possible.
