To reach this goal, a food drive competition was held in concert with the swim meet where the visiting team that donated the most items was named Food Drive Champion. This year's winner was the Dublin Community Swim team for donating 650 items.  

The Ohio State Swim Club members and families donated 965 food items.


The Ohio State Swim Club's food drive was held in collaboration with the Battle Against Hunger food drive as part of Beat Michigan Week activities the week of November 12 - 22. Through the joint effort, Ohio State defeated Michigan in the food drive total by 3,588 items. Ohio State collected 4,675 pounds of food while Michigan raised 1,087 pounds.
