The University of Mary Washington athletic department once again led the charge for the UMW Dining Services/Sodexo Stop Hunger Food Drive this fall, leading to a total of 5,085 pounds of food donated to the Fredericksburg Regional Food Bank and the UMW Eagle Resource Closet.

"UMW Athletics and the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee look forward to this service project every year", said UMW Director of Athletics Patrick Catullo. "This will positively impact so many people in the local community and I am so proud of our student-athletes and staff."

Donating to the food bank has been an annual community service initiative for the department for many years.
