The Food Drive Contest was a great success. Financial Aid won the contest for the
third time in a row, collecting 1,071 food items. Disabled Student Programs and Services
came in second with 412 food items. With a total of 3,076 food items collected, the
College can feed nearly 200 students.
“What a wonderful thing for our students who are in need,” said Health, Fitness/Wellness Professor Carrie Edwards. “The campus community’s generosity will help our students stay focused on their studies and relieve some stress from instability and hunger.”

The Student Health Center launched its Food Drive Contest to help replenish its Food Bank. The program was established in 2013 in response to students who needed a meal.
The Food Drive was part of the Cerritos College Food Project, a campus-wide effort to learn about food in all its aspects across the academic disciplines.
