UO joins Hop Valley Brewing to raise money for food drive

UO employees have an opportunity to help raise money for the Governor’s State Employee Food Drive by raising a glass at Hop Valley Brewing.

On Wednesday, Feb. 22, the UO and Hop Valley will sponsor a “Hops Against Hunger” event at the brewery, 990 W. First Ave. in Eugene. Hop Valley will donate $1 to Food for Lane County for each pint of beer sold at the event, which runs from 5 to 8 p.m.

Friends and families are welcome. The fundraiser is part of Hop Valley’s “Hops that Help” series of community events.

The Governor’s State Employee Food Drive runs through the end of February. Food barrels are staged around campus for food donations, and departments are hosting events and selling Euphoria chocolates to raise money for Oregon food banks.
