Quincy University Launches Annual Day of Service and Food Drive

Quincy Hannibal Keokuk, IL, October 2, 2026 — Quincy University is preparing for its annual Day of Service and Food Drive, an initiative involving its students, faculty, and staff in community betterment. The event aims to engage the university community in meaningful volunteer work and vital food collection efforts.

During the Day of Service, participants are scheduled to contribute to various community service projects. These activities will take place at multiple local organizations, though the specific names of these partner organizations were not provided in the summary. The scope and nature of the projects also remain unspecified.

Concurrently, a university-wide food drive is underway. This effort is designed to gather non-perishable food items to benefit several area food pantries. In addition to supporting external organizations, the collected items will also stock the university’s own campus pantry, which serves members of the university community.

To further bolster the resources for the university pantry, a car wash event is being held on campus. Details regarding the specific date and operational hours for the car wash were not made available. The proceeds and donations generated from this car wash are earmarked exclusively for the university’s internal pantry.

The annual tradition underscores Quincy University’s commitment to community engagement and mutual support. While the summary outlines the general activities and beneficiaries, specific dates for the event, the precise list of participating organizations, and the detailed operational plans for the car wash were not provided.
