Fill the Pit Food Drive!

Quoted from Brad Leier:

To help feed those in need this holiday season our Faculty is hosting the Fill the Pit Food Drive! Non-perishable food donations will be collected in the Ag/For Pit area from November 12th to December 3rd. To further your incentive to donate Dean Kennelly has posed a challenge: Students vs Staff, with the winning group getting the opportunity to pie a few members of their choice from the losing team on the last day of classes!
We are a Faculty of ~1800 undergraduate and graduate students; if each one of us donates 5 items, to help feed those in need this holiday season, we will easily surpass our goal of 10, 000 points:

At the end of the day our reward is two-fold: 1 – we fill the pit to help the Edmonton Food Bank, whose shelves are at an all time low, and 2 – we pie a few professors while doing so! The list of professors eligible to pie will be sent out shortly. Any professor requests or questions about the event can be sent to me at: leier@ualberta.ca.
