Varsity Athletes score big for food drive benefitting Sun Youth

Hats, and helmets, off to the McGill Varsity Sports Council, whose members and more than 150 varsity athletes pitched in to collect the goods during the Council’s third annual food drive through the McGill ghetto last weekend. The two-hour long initiative collected more than 50 large boxes of food, more than doubling last year’s haul.

The food, as well as the bags of clothing the athletes also collected, has been donated to the Sun Youth organization.
