Every spring, Bucknellians across the nation offer assistance through the Bucknell CARES (Clubs Annual Regional Events of Service) program.

Hunger relief and food insecurity proved to be a popular theme for participants. Inspired by the new Bucknell Farm and other University initiatives, volunteers lent a hand at their local food banks, meal distribution services and community gardens. Alumni, parents, students and friends joined in 21 events, coast to coast. The Bucknell CARES program is sponsored by Bucknell Regional Clubs and the Bucknell University Alumni Association, and events are planned by regional volunteers to celebrate National Volunteer Month. This year, more than 328 Bucknellians participated.
