STATESBORO - Georgia Southern's Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) will host a "Candy for Cans" canned food drive to benefit The Food Bank of Statesboro on Thursday before the football game outside of Allen E. Paulson Stadium. The event is being sponsored by Georgia Southern Sports Properties.

All of Eagle Nation is encouraged to support the food bank by bringing canned and dry food items to the South Alabama football game, which kicks off at 7:30 p.m. There will be a Statesboro Food Bank truck and trailer set up near the MC lot (near the Bishop Field House) from 5 p.m. until kickoff. Student-athletes from several of our teams will be working this event and collecting cans during this time.

The student-athletes will also be passing out candy bags to all who donate to help get Halloween started early!

If you are able to contribute, please feel free to drop cans off during the event prior to the football game or you can bring your contribution to the Dan J. Parrish Building on Fair Road during the week and we will ensure it gets included in the final delivery.
