Each year throughout the United States and Canada, chapters of Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity facilitate an international campaign to feed those in need known
as the North American Food Drive. St. Louis College of Pharmacy is home to your local Lambda Chi Alpha chapter. St. Louis has generously taken part in this
international event since the founding of the St. Louis College of Pharmacy chapter in 2005.
The event traditionally consists of brothers of the fraternity conveniently dropping off bags in neighborhoods throughout the city on doorsteps one weekend, and then coming back the next weekend to pick up donations. This drive is executed
biannually, with events in both the spring and fall. In the most recent drive brothers dropped off bags in local areas such as the historic Hill neighborhood as well as in Shrewsbury.
Lambda Chi Alpha at St. Louis College of Pharmacy would like to take the
opportunity to thank the citizens of these areas for their outpouring of generosity for those in need. Over 1,000 pounds of food was collected and the
donations were divided between Arnold Food Pantry and Food Outreach. Thanks again to the remarkable people of St. Louis.
The brothers wish to thank everyone again for their help including all
the community members who donated, and also Shop-N-Save for their donation of bags. This coming fall please keep an eye out on your doorstep and help us in
our efforts to end hunger in the St. Louis area. Contact Carey Unthank by phone (618) 499-0652 or email carey.unthank@stlcop.edu for more information about the North American Food Drive.
