Quincy University basketball teams collect food and supplies for campus pantry

QUINCY — Quincy University basketball is partnering with St. Clare’s Pantry on a donation drive during all home games from Tuesday, Nov. 17, through Tuesday, Nov. 24. Fans and community members are encouraged to bring nonperishable food, hygiene, and household items to support QU students throughout the academic year. Collection bins will be at the Pepsi Arena entrance during each game. The pantry’s most-needed household items are disinfecting wipes, laundry pods, and paper towels. Personal care items in demand include toothpaste and body wash. Requested food items include microwaveable meals, pasta sauce, tuna and rice, granola bars, mac and cheese cups, applesauce, and cereal. “Supporting our students extends beyond the court,” said Jackson Day, the university’s coordinator of athletic marketing and promotions.
