BATON ROUGE – For the fifth-consecutive year, LSU athletics will team up with its fellow 11 members of the Southeastern Conference for the league’s annual Together We CAN Food Drive. The 16-day outreach program in support of local food banks and shelters across the southeast begins Friday.
Members of LSU’s Student Athlete Advisory Committee will be on-hand at each event to collect canned food donations to benefit the Greater Baton Rouge Food Bank.
Fans can donate at all LSU home athletic events starting with Friday’s soccer match versus McNeese State until Oct. 2, including the L-Club Tailgate Registration Table across the street from Tiger Stadium leading into Oct. 1 football conference home opener against Kentucky.
For those fans wanting to donate but not able to make it to one of the athletic events listed below, barrels will be at the front entrance of the Cox Communications Academic Center for Student-Athletes on the LSU campus during the entire 16-day event.
