COLUMBIA, S.C. –
USC and Clemson Student-Athletes are teaming up against hunger in South Carolina. Student-athletes from both schools will hold a competition to collect the most canned foods for Harvest Hope Food Bank. USC needs all Gamecock fans to help beat Clemson in this food drive by donating canned goods. You may drop your canned food donations off at the USC Ticket office on Rosewood Drive, next to the Roundhouse, until November 15th!

Another opportunity for you to donate will be at the entrances of Williams-Brice Stadium prior to the Florida Game on November 12th. To learn more ways to help with our food drive, visit uscsports.com. Remember, help us can the Gators and beat Clemson!

Every year, student athletes from different athletic teams coordinate team projects by taking responsibility to serve as goodwill ambassadors not only for their respective programs, but also for the Athletics Department and the University of South Carolina as a whole. In addition, a number of student athletes elect to perform individual community service hours in a variety of areas. The University of South Carolina Athletics Department is committed to providing volunteer opportunities for student athletes to connect with people in the surrounding community. The greater Columbia community is invited to utilize members of Team Gamecocks to serve as role models and willing volunteers.
