The Missouri Southern Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) wrapped up another successful Trick or Treat So Others Can Eat campaign this week, collecting and donating 5,075 non-perishable items to Souls Harbor, a local food pantry and homeless shelter in Joplin.

Souls Harbor is a Christ-centered, multifaceted human services organization and homeless shelter in downtown Joplin. The organization strives to be a light for the homeless, less fortunate, and those in need.

MSSU student-athletes participated in the annual campaign, collecting non-perishable food items from neighborhoods throughout Joplin before delivering the donations to Souls Harbor.

This marked the 18th year of the Trick or Treat So Others Can Eat campaign organized by MSSU SAAC, continuing an annual tradition of community service and giving back to the Joplin area.
