KALAMAZOO, Mich. -- Incoming freshmen from Western Michigan's football, men's and women's basketball, volleyball and hockey teams got an early chance to serve the community they will be living in over the next four years on Thursday.
Thirty seven newcomers headed to Kalamazoo Loaves & Fishes to help package and label donated foot, stock shelves in the pantry and completed yard work for the organization. The mission of Kalamazoo Loaves & Fishes is to "Feed hungry people and engage our community in the fight to end hunger. Organized in 1982 by several downtown churches, KLF is the largest charitable food distribution system in Kalamazoo County and promotes a hunger-free community through programs and advocacy work.
