UNE Sodexo food drive garners media interest

Sodexo's Helping Hands Across American food drive at UNE garnered media coverage from WCSH 6 TV news and more recently from the York County Coast star. The food drive to help stock local food pantries had a goal of raising 10,000 pounds of food from the UNE community. In a Nov. 19, 2009 story in the York County Coast Star, Beth Jones of the Church Community Outreach Services said the pantry is full this week, thanks to a massive food drive by the University of New England as well as donations from the Kennebunk downtown merchants.
