COLUMBUS, Ind. — Ivy Tech Community College will collect items for its student food pantry during a Halloween-themed event from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Oct. 23 at Moravec Hall, 4475 Central Ave.

At the “spooky (canned) food drive,” the college will collect food items that will be made available to students to help support them through their educational journey and assist them with academic success.

The college will collect the following food items: canned vegetables, canned fruits, canned meats, canned sauces, pasta noodles, snack noodles (mac & cheese/ramen), and can openers.

All items will support students throughout the Ivy Tech Columbus service area, which includes Bartholomew, Decatur, Jackson, Jennings, Johnson, and Shelby counties.

Items can be dropped off at Moravec Hall. A drive-up station will be available to expedite the drop-off process. The food drive is sponsored by Ivy Tech’s Phi Theta Kappa National Honor Society.
