EUGENE, Ore – University of Oregon students took some time away from class to serve those in need. The co-ed fraternity Alpha Phi Omega kicked off their 6th annual Potluck in the Park event to feed low income and homeless people in the community.


The event at Alton Baker Park brought out lines of people. Many of which had been the recipient of the donations in previous years.

“It’s really good to have an annual big event that we do here. And we fell that it really makes a difference,” said Ben Weiner.

Weiner is the event co-chair and said they expect to feed nearly 300 people. The fraternity received donations from Sundance Natural Foods, Fred Meyer, Safeway, Track Town Pizza and the University of Oregon to help them dish out the meals.

“We are not just doing an event to feed the homeless and low income but actually interacting with them,” said Weiner.

To add to their good deed, the students gave away clothing that was donated by local schools and sororities.
