MEMPHIS, Tennessee —
With the majority of campus closed because of the coronavirus outbreak, the University of Memphis is giving some space to help feed local families.
Tuesday, the university served as a host site for the Mid-South Food Bank's mobile pantry program.
Volunteers set up an 18-wheeler full of fresh fruits, vegetables, meat, dessert, eggs, milk, bread, and non-perishables on the campus. The goal was to give 300 families at least 50 pounds of food.
The U of M was just one of 7 sites for food bank distributions across the Mid-South.
