Carroll University is getting close to the end of its nationwide drive to collect 50,000 meals for the hungry.

The effort is part of the university's second annual National Day of Service food drive.

They've collected about 15,000 so far, but will make a big push during the next two days. They're collecting meals at the Carroll University Campus Center, 101 N. East Ave., Waukesha, from Friday 9 a.m.-8 p.m. through Friday and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.

On Saturday, local musicians and Carroll alumni Candice Truesdell-Nokes and Mark Truesdell, otherwise known as The Spirals, will perform from 10:45 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. as part of the collection effort. A Feeding America truck will be on campus to take the meals.

As my colleague Nancy Stohs noted last week, Carroll teamed up with Target Corp. and Feeding America. Twelve local businesses are serving as official collection sites. Carroll alumni in five other states are leading collection efforts.

Check Stohs' Taste Buds blog for information about other collection sites.
