Duke in Pictures: Packing Food for the Needy

Employees collect food items for children at local school

Ashley Carmichael, a staff specialist with the Sarah P. Duke Gardens, helps pack 485 boxes of food at the Washington Duke Inn on Thursday morning. The boxes, which each contain about 70 food items, will be donated to needy students at Bethesda Elementary School to take home over the holiday break. The boxes will be delivered Tuesday, Dec. 18, as part of the school's annual holiday performance. The donated food items included Pasta meals, Fruit cups, Juices, breakfast bars, peanut butter and food staples.

Duke Gardens, the Duke Special Event Council and the Washington Duke Inn organized the food drive.
