Lawrence joined the Music for Food initiative in the fall of 2013, starting the tradition of collecting monetary and non-perishable food items for the Oneida Emergency Food Pantry at all concerts at the end of Fall Term. The Dean’s Advisory Council collects the donations and makes announcements during each of the concerts to raise awareness about hunger in the Fox Valley. To date, Music for Food has provided over 500,000 meals at nearly 100 food pantries around the world.
