AU Community Garden helps those in Need

Hunger awareness week kicked off on Monday in an effort to inform the community about the almost one billion people who suffer from hunger all over the world. Auburn University is doing its part to fight the war on hunger by creating service projects such as the 'Beat Bama Food Drive' and the Community Garden.

The Community Garden is a student based volunteer garden whose produce is donated directly to the Food Bank of East Alabama. Michael Mulvaney, the Community Garden's coordinator, raised over 1400 pounds of food last year and plans on reaching that goal this year. Student Volunteers meet at the garden, located on Woodfield Drive, every Tuesday at 5:00 to help in any way necessary. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to help out; no experience is necessary. For more information on volunteering, you can contact Mulvaney through his website http://www.auburn.edu/~mulvamj/community_garden.html
