ABOUT CAN THE GRIZ
This year marks the 19th year of the Can the Griz Food Drive. This food drive is a friendly, off-field competition between Montana State University and the University of Montana to see which school can collect the most donations for their local food bank. The competition begins Saturday, November 3rd and ends November 17th, at the end of the first quarter of the Brawl of the Wild football game between MSU and UM. The winner of the competition will be announced later that day. Can the Griz proceeds go to the Gallatin Valley Food Bank and benefits Bounty of the Bridgers: A Food Resource Council at MSU. The Bobcats have successfully canned the Griz 15 of 18 years!
Last year, MSU and the Bozeman community donated a record 257,336 pounds of food plus $131,757 to the Gallatin Valley Food Bank. The University of Montana and Missoula community also raised a record amount for the Missoula community's local food bank. Donations from UM and the Missoula community totaled 255,070 pounds of food plus $139,008. We challenge the Bozeman community to help us beat the Griz this year!
Here are some ways you can donate:
Can the Griz is coordinated by the MSU Office of Student Engagement and the Gallatin Valley Food Bank.
