Bethune-Cookman University News June 2018 Farm Share, State Rep. Henry and B-CU Collaborate Campus and community came together to address food insecurity in Midtown, one of the City of Daytona Beach's most impoverished areas, at a food distribution on June 2. Food deserts are being created as full-service grocery stores move out of lower-income neighborhoods. Spearheaded by alumnus, District 26 State Representative Patrick Henry and Farm Share, more than 12,000 pounds of food was shared with 292 families at the B-CU Michael & Libby Johnson Center for Civic Engagement. "B-CU was chosen because of its central location and high visibility in the community. At least 280 verified families attended and it was an honor to assist them," said Henry. The event was coordinated by the University's Offices of Chaplaincy, Public Affairs, and Student Life. The Michael & Libby Johnson Center for Civic Engagement at Bethune is the physical hub for the University's community-focused programs, which are a continuation of the rich legacy entrusted to the institution by its founder, Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune.
