College of Wooster and Kellogg Company team up to help fight hunger

The College of Wooster and Kellogg’s Food Away From Home program are teaming up this month to donate thousands of servings of cereal to a local food bank. For every bowl of Kellogg’s cereal consumed in the college’s dining halls during the month of April, Kellogg Company will donate a bowl to the Akron-Canton Regional Food Bank.

Based on normal consumption patterns, the college estimates some 6,400 servings of cereal will be donated when the campaign ends on April 30.

“College of Wooster students are involved in the community in many ways, giving hundreds of hours of service each year, “ said Chuck Wagers, director of campus dining services. “Kellogg provides another great opportunity for the students to become involved, and gives us a chance to make a difference in the lives of those who have much less than we do.”

“Kellogg has supported food banks across the U.S. for nearly 30 years. On average, the company donates $20 million of products annually,” said Tim Knowlton, vice president, corporate social responsibility for Kellogg Company. “Our partnership with The College of Wooster and the Akron-Canton Food Bank is an example of our continued commitment to helping those challenged in these economic times.”
