Gameday Grab and Go Program is looking for volunteers! As part of the Division of Student Life’s Alcohol Harm Reduction Plan, the program offers food and water before home football games to students and visitors as they walk up Grand Ave on their way to the stadium. 

Volunteers are needed to help with setting up/taking down tables, passing out food (pizza, donuts, burritos, etc.), giving out water, and being friendly to everyone as they go by. Some heavy lifting is needed to carry the tables, water, and ice. The Gameday Grab and Go station is available 4 hours before kickoff outside Rienow Hall. Each game requires 5-10 volunteers. Email elizabeth-swanton@uiowa.edu to learn more and sign-up. 

Staff Council is sponsoring two of these dates, Sept. 19th and November 14th and you can sign up by using the links below, but councilors are encouraged to sign up for any of the other dates by contacting Liz Swanton if these two games don’t work in your schedule.
