Kansas University staff members are sponsoring a food drive with the hopes of collecting one ton of food for the Lawrence community.

The second annual drive will collect food donations Monday through Friday at a variety of locations across campus. Proceeds will benefit EKCAN Just Food, a partnership of Lawrence food pantries.

Last year, the drive collected 1,800 pounds of food, so this year, event organizers decided to try for a ton — or 2,000 pounds — of donations. More information, including a list of collection locations, is available online at unclassifiedsenate.ku.edu/fooddrive.
