Orangeburg, SC – The Claflin University Department of Athletics in conjunction with Claflin University Career Development and Davis Toyota of Orangeburg, will hold a Stuff the Van event, next Tuesday-Friday, Feb. 9-11.  This event is part of the school's Black History Month Celebration.
 
Donations will be collected from 9 am-3 pm each day at the Jonas T. Kennedy Health and Wellness Complex on the Claflin campus. The donations will be delivered on Friday, Feb. 12 to the Filling Station by Davis Toyota of Orangeburg, who donated the van for the event. 
 
All items collected will be donated to the Orangeburg County School District Filling Station, which is designed to meet the need of food insecurity for all school-aged children in the district.
 
"Claflin University Athletics department is excited to be in partnership with the Orangeburg County School District," said Tony O'Neal, Claflin Director of Athletics.

Claflin students who donate will receive community service hours.  As a component of Stuff the Van, there will be a competition between the athletic teams to see which team can donate the most items for bragging rights within the department.
