Charleston, S.C. – The Citadel track and field and cross country teams took part in its annual food drive again this November to support needy families in the Charleston area.

The Cadets collected 29 turkeys, four hams and boxes full of canned goods to donate to a neighborhood house that feeds the needy in the downtown area as well as the Palmetto Presbyterian Church in Mt. Pleasant.

The Bulldog athletes, along with Bravo Company who accounted for 25% of all donations, gathered over $1,200 worth of food – macaroni, rice, green beans, peas, yams and other various Turkey Day items.

The food donated to the Palmetto Presbyterian Church will be used to put together baskets that will be delivered to homes before Thanksgiving Day in the town of Huger, S.C.
