Fort Collins College Takes a Stand Against Hunger in Corporate Food Fight

FORT COLLINS, Colo. - May 14, 2013 - PRLog -- Fort Collins, CO: Throughout the month of April, IBMC College in Fort Collins (http://www.ibmc.edu/) participated in the Corporate Food Fight, hosted by the Food Bank for Larimer County (http://www.foodbanklarimer.org/Events/Food%20Bank%20Events/Corporate%20Food%20Fight.aspx). The Corporate Food Fight pits local businesses against one another in a friendly competition to determine who can raise the most food and funds to support the hungry of Larimer County.

At the Fort Collins campus, a variety of activities were held so that students, staff and faculty could participate in the fight against hunger. Activities included:

April 8 & 22 – Campus Bake Sales
April 15 & 29 – 10-Minute Chair Massages – provided by IBMC massage program (http://www.ibmc.edu/Massage.asp) graduates and student externs  – 12pm-1pm & 5pm-6pm - suggested donation of $3-$5
Tuesdays all month – Brown Bag It! – Employees and students were encouraged to pack their lunch and donate what they would have spent on a lunch out.
Wednesdays all month – Jeans Day – Staff and students were able to "break dress code" and wear jeans every Wednesday with a $1 donation
Thursdays all month – Food Drives

By month's end, $1,000 and 250 pounds of food were collected and donated to the Food Bank for Larimer County! In addition, 10 staff members from the Fort Collins career college (http://www.ibmc.edu/Programs.asp) will be volunteering at the food bank on Friday, May 17th!

The Corporate Food Fight is a great community outreach program and IBMC College is honored to have been included in this year's event!
