Students, faculty and local community members contributed a total of 72,693 pounds of food at the 2013 spring game. Oregon football fans were asked to contribute at least three cans of food instead of traditional football tickets to gain access to the event.

“This is a great partnership with the University of Oregon,” Alicia Hines, a Food for Lane County food resource developer, said in a press release. “Not only does it give people an opportunity to experience a Duck game, it helps us collect important non-perishable food items heading into the summer months.”

Food for Lane County currently distributes approximately 17,000 meals per day, and the food, along with a combined donation of $1,650 from last Saturday’s game, will be transformed into 56,776 meals that will be donated to the organization.
