A
pril 25-29 marked the Alabama Alpha
Mu Chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon's
inaugural Cans for a Cause philanthropy
event benefiting the Campus Food Pantry and
East Alabama Food Bank. e brothers of SAE
came up with a creative solution to limit the
amount of student dining dollars that go to waste
every year at Auburn University.
Every college has some type of dining plan for
their students and on our campus students are
allotted a certain amount of dining dollars to use
at a variety of dining options around campus.
However, at the end of the semester, the unused
money expires and essentially goes to waste rather
than rolling over to the next semester. e brothers
of SAE took notice of this unnecessary waste and
aer investigation found that the unused money
each year totals well over $1 million.
is discovery led to the inception of SAE's first
Cans for a Cause philanthropy event, which gave
Auburn students the opportunity to use their
end of the semester dining dollars to purchase
canned goods and other non-perishable food
items to help support families in need in the
Auburn/Opelika community. Tables and drop
boxes were set up outside of all the convenient
stores on campus and brothers encouraged
students to put their money toward this cause.
Auburn's student body was extremely willing
to help and donated over 1,300 pounds of food
throughout the week. All of the food donated
went to the Campus Food Pantry and the East
Alabama Food Bank. e week was a great
success and all of the brothers are looking
forward to growing Cans for a Cause into an
even bigger event and increasing our collection
totals next year.
