SUCCI has spearheaded the Stock the Bank food and fundraising campaign to benefit the Emergency Student Fund for the past 16 years. It is through the generosity of our college community that this annual campaign, supported by college staff has raised over $180,000 in support of students in need.   In addition, the sizeable donation of non-perishable food items has kept the food bank shelves stocked for most of the years.  Stock The Bank began in 2006 as a way of supporting the college food bank which at the time was seriously depleted.  College departments were divided into teams to compete against one another to see who could bring in the most items.  Items and dollars are valued equally one for one.  We have continued this tradition for 14 years bringing new twists and incentives to help STOCK THE BANK for students in need!

Stock the Bank took a hiatus during the pandemic but the foodbank continued to operate with curbside pickup and donations to the COVID-19 Student Fund.  But this work without the influx of generous donations has the foodbank shelves looking bare as we returned to campus, and look to the winter with a full return of students.

So save the dates and fire up your teamwork and scheme-work skills because the 15th annual Stock the Bank Challenge is back!  We kick off with our Pancake Breakfast by Donation on Friday November 26th, and Daily Collections begin on Monday November 29th and run until Friday December 10th!  Teams will win bragging rights and a $150 Donation to a charity of their choice!
