Thanksgiving Food Drive
For the second year in a row, and third year overall, the UIS College Republicans conducted a Thanksgiving Food Drive, for the Ronald MacDonald House Charities.
This year however, our pickup was derailed, due to a major snowstorm that hit our city, the day before we were to pick up the food donations. Despite the incelement weather, uprooted trees, and power outage, some people did put out food, for us to collect, on the scheduled day. We continued our Food Drive afterwards, and more people - on campus, and in the community - donated food.
