Athletes Give up a Meal for Keene Community Kitchen

From Stuart Kaufman, Sports Information:

Keene State College student athletes are a busy bunch; between classes, jobs, practices and games there’s little time for most of them to do community service work.

However, the Keene State women’s basketball team solved the problem. Working in conjunction with Sodexho, the food service provider at the College, the team found a way for the athletes to donate a meal to the Keene Community Kitchen.

“The original plan was to have just members of the women’s basketball team donating a meal, but we decided to include all of the student athletes,” said Brooke Long, an assistant coach with the Owls who helped coordinate the event.

The response was tremendous, with 175 KSC student athletes forgoing dinner the Friday before Thanksgiving.

Phoebe Bray, the Executive Director of the Keene Community Kitchen, said thanks to the athletes several hundred pounds of food came over from the College.
