Jeff Gordon to Visit ACCA Tomorrow

Driver of the No. 24 Drive to End Hunger Chevrolet to help Campus Kitchens at UGA prepare and deliver meals for local seniors. Four-time NASCAR Cup Series champion Jeff Gordon will visit the Athens Community Council on Aging on Thursday, August 29th, to work alongside student volunteers from the Campus Kitchen at UGA (CKUGA), part of the nationwide Campus Kitchens network that rescues excess food to provide healthy meals to older adults in need. Gordon will be joined by leaders from AARP Foundation, which leads Drive to End Hunger; and from The Campus Kitchens Project and the Campus Kitchen at UGA, whose senior hunger outreach work is supported by the Foundation. UPDATE: After helping pack and prepare meals, Gordon will join two student-volunteers to deliver meals to two area families as part of the Grandparents Raising Grandchildren program.
