Over 7,000 students are volunteering this Hallowe'en...getting dressed up and going door-to-door to collect food items. Combined their efforts will raise enough food to provide 160,000 for their neighbours who rely on the local food bank.
Their creativity doesn't stop at their costumes...it applies to their online fundraising efforts too. In Vancouver UBC student, Lynda, blogged that "this was her first time doing this kind of thing, so please, make my first time not fail" and has now exceeded her goal of $300.
In London, Ontario - Heather Andrighetti and Casey Whitelock, students at the Univesity of Western Ontario created Facebook events to advertise their fundraising efforts. Hundreds of others have been updating their Facebook statuses.
