91ԹDonations obtained during this food drive will allow both pantries to have adequate food on hand as we move toward final exams, which is an especially important time to ensure our students are food secure due to the adverse impacts food insecurity creates,91Թ said Zebariaha Spire, vice president of membership for Sigma Alpha Lambda. 91ԹThough this is just one food drive, it can make a difference in supporting many students' food security and, ultimately, academic success.91Թ
