Feeding the hungry, after Marshall-Wythe School of Law at the College of William & Mary’s food and donation drive provided more than 7,000 items and several thousand dollars to benefit local families in need. Students at the law school turned the food drive into a friendly competition, encouraging students to participate. The food drive benefitted one local charity which hosted a Thanksgiving dinner for members of the community who otherwise would be unable to celebrate with a traditional Thanksgiving feast. The food drive brought in the largest-ever amount of food in the history of this particular law school food drive. The drive was organized by the Black Law Students Association. “The BLSA Thanksgiving basket collection is a long and lovely tradition here at the law school, and is yet another manifestation of our law students’ strong commitment to service,” Dean Davison M. Douglas said in a statement.
