Bully’s Pantry gears up for 3rd annual Egg Bowl Food Fight

STARKVILLE, Miss. – Bully’s Food Pantry and Mississippi’s Grove Grocery will be going head-to-head this month in what will be their 3rd annual egg bowl food fight.

The competition started November 1st, as bully’s food pantry is looking for non-perishable food items, hygiene products, and is also taking monetary donations as well. This is used in a way to use the gridiron rivalry to put eyes towards the fight against hunger. Bully’s Pantry coordinator Suzanne Bowen said that the pantry has been operation for a few years now, opening at the beginning of 2020.

“Right now, we’re having a friendly competition with Ole Miss and their food pantry to see which pantry can receive the most donations during the month of November through November 20th, leading up to the egg bowl,” said Bowen. “We’re calling it the egg bowl food fight.”

Some examples include canned items with pop-top lids, pasta, rice, ramen, beans individually wrapped toothbrushes and deodorant. Each item and dollar that’s donated is a point towards the competition, as donations can be made online or at bully’s pantry on campus located at 120 morgan avenue.

“You can look on our Instagram page and donate through our Amazon wish list,” said Bowen. “So, we have an online donating option. You could also come to the pantry to donate items. We’re open Monday through Friday from 1 to 4, and we also have a link to donate through the MSU Foundation to donate money.”
