Warrensburg – With Survival Adult Abuse Center cupboards almost bare, children’s coordi-nator Melissa Looper said she is thrilled a pickup truck filled with canned goods backed into the driveway.
“We are running low on food in general,” Looper said while waiting for University of Central Mis-souri’s Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity members.
Fraternity member Darius Schneiders said campus Greeks unite during Halloween and Watermelon Bust events to collect food for the needy.
“This is the most we’ve ever collected – 3,320 cans,” he said. “We col-
lected three pickup loads that we split between the Food Center and Survival Adult Abuse Center. Most of the bulk foods like the cases of vegetables went to the Food Center.”
On Wednesday, frater-nity members delivered more than 1,500 cans of food – soups, tomato sauce, mushrooms, fruit – that Looper will use to create menus and com-plete meals.
“This is such a huge blessing,” she said.
Looper said the center is also low on household care and cleaning items, including laundry soap, personal razors, body wash and shampoo.
“If 10 people gave us one bag of razors, they would last us two weeks,” she said.
