Supermarket Sweep

Supermarket Sweep is an invitation for the community to raise money and donate food to local food banks. The event was moved from November to February to better fill the food bank’s shelves.

“It helps the community know we see their need and we truly want to help,” said Kearstin Criswell, the director of Student Involvement.

Anyone who walks through the Warsaw Kroger the day of the event is given the list of items. This year the sweep was split into two time slots for Grace students. This refocused the goal on student innovation and generosity, according to Criswell. Grace students raised $9,766. Over the whole day 7,233 items were donated.

“The Supermarket Sweep is fun but also meaningful,” said Criswell.
