UW-Green Bay students to ‘trick or treat’ for food donations

GREEN BAY — This Halloween, University of Wisconsin-Green Bay students will be trick or treating for food donations in the neighborhoods surrounding the UW-Green Bay campus.

The collection will take place between 4 and 7 p.m., Friday, Oct. 31. Students participating in the project will each display a neon-colored sticker that reads “Trick or Treat So Others Can Eat.” Each non-perishable food item collected will be donated to Paul’s Pantry.

“Trick or Treat So Others Can Eat” is a service project organized by the UW-Green Bay Chapter of Circle K. The program is based nationally, with many successes in past years within other communities and organizations. This is the second year Circle K will be collecting.

While the project is currently limited to the neighborhoods surrounding the UW-Green Bay campus, Brown County can still donate non-perishable food directly to Paul’s Pantry. The facility is located at 1529 Leo Frigo Way in Green Bay.

Donation hours are: Monday through Friday, 6 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.; Saturday, 6 a.m. to noon; Sunday, 7 a.m. to noon. More information about Paul’s Pantry is online at www.paulspantry.org.

Circle K is a Kiwanis-sponsored organization at the college level dedicated to community service, leadership development, and fellowship. There are more than 560 members in Wisconsin and Upper Michigan, and more than 12,000 members worldwide.
