FHU SIFE Team Gives Food to Families

Members of Freed-Hardeman University’s Students in Free Enterprise team provided bags of groceries to approximately 40 Chester County families Wednesday, May 3. The food was distributed at the North Chester School to families identified by the Carl Perkins Center for Prevention of Child Abuse.

Canned goods had been collected earlier in the year at a concert by “Paper Route.” The concert was sponsored by the University Program Council. In addition, money raised from the annual Chili Bowl competition sponsored by the Office of Alumni Relations was used to buy food for the distribution.

Dr. Lee Hibbett who, along with Mark Steiner sponsors the local chapter of SIFE, estimated the value of the food at more than $1,000. Brandon White, president of SIFE, and Clay Jordan, county director of the Perkins Center, were on hand for the distribution.
