HOOTS/RICE Hurricane Katrina Food Drive Update
(updated September 8, 2005)
Last week the High Order of Owl Tailgaiting Society (HOOTS) collected more than 2,500 pounds of supplies for victims of Hurricane Katrina. The Rice community generously donated:
-
Paper Goods
-
Bottled Water
-
Single-Serving Snacks
-
Heat and Eat Foods
-
-
Several hundred pounds of clothing
We continue to receive calls offering more donations of food and clothing. And as of September 2, Rice Housing and Dining are feeding victims of the hurricane by preparing chicken or meat donated by the Houston Hunger Network. The food is prepared in our kitchens and then delivered to Palmer Memorial Episcopal Church to feed hurricane victims. Additionally, a team of FE&P housekeeping volunteers was organized by Eusebio Franco, a manager in that department, to clean restrooms in the Astrodome.
