ATHENS, Ga. --- With the holiday season approaching, the University of Georgia's Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) made a large contribution to the Food Bank of Northeast Georgia's Hunger Bowl, donating over 6,000 pounds of food to those in need.
In all, 88 teams in the Northeast Georgia community participated in the Hunger Bowl and competed against others to donate as much food as possible during the two-week period.
"The Athletic Association is appreciative of the initiative that our student-athletes have taken, and the support they were given by the staff," said UGA's Director of the CHAMPS/Life Skills program Robert Miles. "The Hunger Bowl is one of the many opportunities they take advantage of to gave back to the community through volunteer efforts."
SAAC's mission is to enhance the student-athlete experience through a number of initiatives throughout the year, with membership comprised of representatives from each sport.
