UAA partnered with Skinny Raven for the UAA Spirit Run: Run Against Hunger on Sept. 28, to hold its annual 5K community event to raise money for food insecurity. The event raised $2,914 to support the UAA Food Insecurity fund through programs such as the Seawolf Food Pantry.
According to Seawolf Dining, there were a total of 110 registered runners that participated in the run. UAA Seawolf Catering provided drinks and snacks for after the race. UAA radio station KRUA 88.1 FM provided music for the event.
In a follow-up email, Trenton Hall wrote that “studies show that nearly 45% of students at UAA experience some type of food insecurity.” Any student looking for a three-day supply of shelf-stable food can email uaa_seawolfpantry@alaska.edu. If you are interested in donating, you can also email the Seawolf pantry.
Correction 10/9/2024 2:41pm. A previous version of this article incorrectly stated that the event raised funds for the food pantry on campus. This was corrected to say it supports the UAA Food Insecurity Fund through programs such as the Seawold Food Pantry. An incorrect statement about UAA Student Health and Counseling Center providing drinks and snacks was corrected to state that UAA Seawolf Catering provided these. And a statement saying the Seawolf Food Pantry provides resources to nearly 45% of students was corrected to state Trenton Hall wrote that there are studies showing nearly 45% of UAA students experience some type of food insecurity.
