Food Drive


One of the service projects that the Alpha Brothers do on a weekly basis is food drive. This takes place each Friday afternoon at 2:00p.m., and generally takes approximately an hour to complete. The brothers take the same van that is used for the Late Night Local and collect food left over from all the dining commons on campus, load it into the van, and transport it over to the local soup kitchen in Bangor. This keeps the food from being wasted, as the commons would simply throw it out, and provides food for those in the Bangor community that could not afford to eat otherwise. While it doesn't take much time out of the brothers' day, it is something that has a great impact on needy families in the community and is why the brothers continue to perform this act of service.
