Bulldogs Give Back Over Thanksgiving Break

CHARLESTON, S.C. - The Citadel track and field team paired up with Palmetto Presbyterian Church in Mount Pleasant for its annual holiday food drive.

Each year, Palmetto Presbyterian Church delivers baskets of food to less fortunate families in Huger, S.C. The cadet-student-athletes gather canned items throughout the fall from their classmates and friends.

This year they donated 23 turkeys, macaroni, corn bread, potatoes, stuffing, green beans, corn, yams, and other various Thanksgiving Day items to the church.

The track and field team began participating in the food drive in 1998 when assistant coach Kris Kut was a junior at The Citadel. The goal then was to help feed multiple local families and over the years the drive has grown tremendously. The team donated enough food to help out to over 25 different families this year.
