Recently, McNeese student-athletes spent some time giving back through our Food for Seniors program!

Members of the McNeese softball and track teams volunteered with our Human Services team to help with the monthly food box distribution. The Food for Seniors program provides nutritious food boxes to eligible seniors throughout Calcasieu Parish each month.

We appreciate these student-athletes taking the time to lend a hand and support seniors in our community!
