Final days to vote in the 2025 Grocery Dash!

Your donations decide who races the aisles — and support Towson’s Basic Needs Hub!

There’s still time, Tigers — but not much! The Weis Grocery Dash donation competition runs through tomorrow, November 7, and every nonperishable food donation you make this week counts as a vote for which TU student will sprint through Weis Markets to benefit TU’s Basic Needs Hub.

Meet the competitors:

• Michael Dunn — College of Business & Economics (CBE)
• Tailor D’Adamo — College of Education (COE)
• Tatiana Agboh — College of Health Professions (CHP)
• Scarlett Chappell — College of Fine Arts & Communication (COFAC)
• Alphonso Faltz — College of Liberal Arts (CLA)
• Baara Stewart — Fisher College of Science & Mathematics (FCSM)

Drop your nonperishable donations in your college’s bin, located in each academic building, to cast your vote. The college with the most donations earns bragging rights and sends its representative to compete in the Weis Grocery Dash — a high-energy, two-minute shopping spree at Weis Markets in Towson.

During the dash, the winning student will keep the items they grab — and Weis Markets will double the total value of that haul as a donation to TU’s Basic Needs Hub, helping students who face food insecurity.

Items the Basic Needs Hub needs most:

Ramen noodles • Mac & cheese • Ravioli • Microwavable meals • Canned tuna & chicken • Shelf-stable milk • Nut butter • Pasta & sauce • Canned fruit • Snacks

🗓 Donation deadline: November 7

📍 Bin location: In each college’s academic building

💛 Benefiting: TU’s Basic Needs Hub

🤝 Sponsored by: Weis Markets

Your college still has time to take the lead — and every can, box, and bag counts!

Donate, vote, and cheer on your representative in the Weis Grocery Dash later this semester!
