The University of Alabama won the 2020 Beat Auburn Beat Hunger food drive for the fourth year in a row, raising 291,047 pounds of food over Auburn University’s 259,160 pounds of food.

The results were announced at the West Alabama Food Bank. The food drive is always a blessing and helps make it possible to feed the needy in the community, said Jean Rykaczewski, executive director of the food bank.

“This year more than ever with the pandemic and serving more people than we’ve ever seen before, it’s especially important for us,” she said. “Regardless of which school wins, it’s a win for the state. Over half a million pounds of food comes into the state, and we’re able to serve the people.”
