RICE UNIVERSITY: Celt CANstruction Competition Comes Roaring Back to Address Food Insecurity

Foooddddd

Rice University issued the following announcement.

Following a space adjustment earlier in the year to accommodate other needs in these unusual times, The Celt Pantry is on track with its food pantry initiative and its Celt CANstruction Competition. Driving the contest is the Veteran Success Center, where the food pantry will be housed.

It’s no secret that some university students across the country have to make difficult decisions about how to afford to stay in school and get their education. The Celt Pantry will be open to all currently enrolled UST students who are experiencing food insecurity.

All UST departments, student organizations and offices are encouraged to participate in this fun and meaningful competition by creating a display in their respective areas using only non-perishable items. At the end of the contest, the food items will be donated to the student Celt Pantry.
