Why do 100 ONU students wear hairnets and disposable gloves? It's for sanitary reasons for when the students packed 20,000 meals in McIntosh Center on Saturday afternoon.
The food packets go to the hungry: 1,000 meals to ReStore in Ada, 6,000 meals to the West Ohio Food Bank and the rest to the African nation of Lesotho.
The nutritious meals consisted of a blend of rice, soy, vegetables, vitamins and minerals.
The meals will be given to those suffering from hunger and malnutrition. Ingredients cost about 27 cents a meal.
Representatives from than 100 organizations were on hand Friday to talk with ONU students about their plans after college.
The fair was designed for students seeking both full and part-time employment as well as co-ops, internships, and admission to graduate and professional schools.
