A UNO tradition returns to campus, ignited by the ringing of the school’s Bell Tower. As it has for the past 14 years, it sounded the start of the annual “Bell Tower Challenge.”

Using cans of food, students and faculty stacked cans to compete for most creative display, most cans stacked and most enthusiastic group.

But it’s the Food Bank that benefits in the end.

Throughout the years, more than 18 tons worth of canned food has been donated. Now they can add another 2,756 pounds to the total.

The Food Bank helps approximately 360 agencies in Nebraska and Western Iowa.

I owe, I owe, so it's off to work I go. You see?, I happen to be a poor person. Have been for much of my life. Thanks to people who "cared" enough to pass `charitable laws, "bought" for the purpose of sharing, "gave" sometimes out of their need instead of their abundance, I have been able to survive & at times `thrive. :-) Thank-you very much. God love & bless you- all. Please consider my `thanks to be one of gratitude on the behalf of other poor & hungry people as well. To those who have helped/had my best interest at heart...you are up there with God: who said that... "Whatsoever ye do unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye do it unto me." `Tis a shame that hunger is so prevalent in the the United States of America. But sometimes it is a test. Remember those people in Lincoln, Nebraska who won the Jackpot Lottery?; They deserved it. May God richly bless those who instigated the drives, planted, grew, harvested and distributed the food. We(God & us poor) love you. :-)
