ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½

Next week is rivalry week – and it’s time to Beat ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ and Tackle Hunger! The fourth annual Can the Vandals Food Fight is where ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ State takes on the University of ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ not only on the field but also in raising the most non-perishable food items and monetary donations for the ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ Foodbank. 

For the past five seasons, ever since UI rejoined the Big Sky Conference, our Can the Vandals Food Fight to support the ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ Foodbank has united students, faculty, staff, alumni and the whole Bengal community to tackle hunger and food insecurity in our state by challenging UI to a competition collecting non-perishable food items and monetary donations for those in need.  

Starting Monday, Nov. 14, until kickoff at 1 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 19, non-perishable food items can be donated at any of the collection barrels on our campuses, around the state or at any of the ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ Foodbank locations. When you drop off your donations at a foodbank location, let them know you’re on Team ISU. You can also join the effort by making monetary donations using the .

Each dollar donated can provide four meals for a community member experiencing food insecurity. This good-natured competition makes an impact that reaches far beyond Pocatello and Moscow – so let’s get going! 

Bengal Nation, help us Beat ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ and Tackle Hunger. Let’s Can the Vandals in the food fight competition starting Monday and then again on the field on Nov. 19! For more information and to participate, visit
