Members of Team Gamecocks, USC student athletes, will be conducting their annual Team Food Drive Competition at the South Carolina vs. Arkansas football game on Saturday, November 6th.

The group will be collecting food for Harvest Hope Food Bank at Williams-Brice stadium and encourages fans attending the game to bring non-perishable food items to the gates before the 12:30 p.m. kick-off. Team Gamecocks members will be stationed at the entrances of Williams-Brice to collect the donations.

Harvest Hope Food Bank serves 59,000 people per week throughout 18 counties of central South Carolina by distributing food to over 350 member agencies. Food donations received at the football game will assist hungry families during the holiday season and the upcoming winter months when their need is greatest.
