Member Center:
BLOOMINGTON, IN (AP) - Indiana University and other colleges around the country will try to break the Guinness World Record for the largest collection of food gathered for the hungry in 24 hours. The attempt Thursday is part of Helping Hands Across America. Last year the drive brought in more than 380,000 pounds of food, with more than 5,000 pounds collected at IU. The goal for this year's drive is 396,000 pounds of food. The donations collected at IU will go to the Hoosier Hills Food Bank. IU is collecting cans and nonperishable food items at its dining halls and libraries. (Copyright 2009 by The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.)
