Little chicks raise big bucks to battle hunger
Dec. 03, 2025
Augustana’s Sociology and Anthropology Society joined the college’s Yarn Club to sell crocheted chickens to raise money for the River Bend Food Bank. Here, Helena Smith, Curtis Baldwin and Lillian McClintock present a check for $3,061 to the food bank. Arler Ohlmiller, Emma Bowes, Isabel Gaytan and Rosa Gaytan also played key roles. “Augustana’s chicken fundraiser was a great success!” said Nicole Lauer, marketing and communications strategist at River Bend Food Bank. “This creative and thoughtful initiative brings our community together and delivers hunger relief for River Bend Food Bank’s 23-county service area when we need it most.”
