This Easter holiday, more than 800 families had fresh fruit and produce on the table thanks to La Salle’s fifth annual Easter Food Drive. With the help of community partner The Fresh Grocer, the University gathered and distributed more than 4,000 pounds of food to 11 faith-based institutions in the local community.

“This is the fifth year we have supplied fresh produce to our neighborhood faith-based institutions,” said Marjorie Allen, Ph.D., coordinator of the food drive and Chair of the Integrative Studies Department. “But it is the first where our students have interned with some of these churches and mosques on projects beyond the food drive.”
