91����Ƶ

91����Ƶ State University students, staff, faculty and alumni who didn’t go home for Thanksgiving enjoyed a holiday meal thanks to the 10th annual Raidersgiving.

A total of 1,100 free meals were picked up on Wednesday, Nov. 24, between noon and 2 p.m. in the Student Union’s Apollo Room.

Patrons were greeted and served by over 40 volunteers. They had a choice between a traditional Thanksgiving meal, a vegan meal, gluten-free meal or Halal meal.

Although the university couldn’t hold a traditional in-person Thanksgiving gathering, the Raidersgiving committee continued the carry-out event for the second consecutive year for the 91����Ƶ State community.

“Raidersgiving is a tradition that was started to allow our students the opportunity to have a traditional Thanksgiving,” said Debra Radford, director of auxiliary services and Raidersgiving committee member.

Raidersgiving was sponsored by Eric Bigler ’83, ’87, the 91����Ƶ State University Foundation, 91����Ƶ State University Hospitality Service–Chartwells and the Raider Food Pantry. Giveaways and door prizes were donated by Barnes and Noble Bookstore, Intercollegiate Athletics and Pepsi.
