Rutgers Against Hunger gives a very special THANK YOU to University Facilities Maintenance for all their support! This team has been instrumental in making RAH a success by delivering the food bins, collecting the food and driving it to the Community Food Bank of NJ each week. Many groups on campus have held special events supporting RAH and University Facilities Maintenance has assisted with special delivery of food bins and pick up of food.
Many thanks to you and the over 5 tons of food your team has picked up and delivered to area food banks. Your effort to support RAH has and will continue to directly help the growing number of people in NJ facing hunger. Kudos University Facilities Maintenance!

A very special THANK YOU also to Waste Management for partnering with Rutgers Against Hunger and donating the RAH food bins for our year-long food collection!
Kudos to the Rutgers community for these recent efforts:
RIAS Department Uses Creativity to Support RAH In February, the RIAS department held a photo contest where the entry fee for a photo was canned food. By donating 1 can of food, you received 1vote for a photo (or 10 cans of food gives you 10 votes!). This contest raised over 240 pounds of food. Congratulations to Chris Sickels, winner of the RIAS photo contest, and congratulations to RIAS for setting a great example of what a department can do to support RAH!
RU Recreation's Week of Caring in February raised 900 pounds of food and over $1,800!  Smash Bros.Tournament 2/9/09 Bridge Award recipients donate award to RAH and helps a Newark family of 12 The REX Development Team was awarded the Presiden'ts Bridge Award
for demonstrating an exceptional spirit of collaboration and the sharing of information and resources while pursuing the broad goal of excellent service to the benefit of the university. The group decided to donate the award, a gift card worth over $300, to Rutgers Against Hunger. The giftcard made a difference for a Newark family of 12, who has one child attending the Bruce Street School for the Deaf in Newark. Through the child’s teacher at the school for the deaf, the Community FoodBank of NJ learned that this family suddenly found themselves having to choose between food and heat for their home. The FoodBank was able to provide the family with an emergency food package, which probably lasted a week, and informed them where they could obtain emergency food regularly. In addition, the family also received this gift card from RAH to help pay their bills. Thank you REX Development team, for your generosity and thoughtfulness!
