November 7-21

Can the Cats Fund Drive

It's time to Can the Cats! From November 7 through 21, the University of Montana and Montana State University will compete in the 27th annual Can the Cats competition, bringing together Grizzlies and Bobcats to fight food insecurity across Montana.

While the rivalry culminates at the 125th Brawl of the Wild, the real victory happens in our communities. Donations collected in Missoula benefit the Missoula Food Bank & Community Center and the UM Food Pantry, helping local families, individuals, and students access the food they need.

Campus Dining is proud to participate by hosting a fund drive at five dining locations across campus. Looking to contribute nonperishable food instead? Our Starbucks location in the Emma B. Lommasson Center will serve as Campus Dining's designated food collection site.

Every dollar donated counts as one pound of food toward the competition. Together, we can support our neighbors, strengthen our community, and show the Bobcats what Griz Nation can accomplish!
