Muffet and Lady Irish Collect for Homeless: Notre Dame, Ind. –The holiday season will be much brighter for numerous families around Michiana, thanks to the generosity of hundreds of people who contributed to the first-ever Fighting Irish Women’s Basketball “Dish for the Holidays” food drive, to benefit the Food Bank of Northern Indiana.
Head coach Muffet McGraw and her staff, along with all 11 Lady Irish players, braved the cold temperatures on Thursday morning to man numerous collection stations around the Notre Dame campus. When the two-hour food drive concluded, eight full boxes of non-perishable food and sundries (close to 400 pounds) were packed on a truck and headed to the Food Bank. In addition, several pasers-by offered monetary donations to the effort, with $646 collected to complement the food drive.
“We are just so grateful for the support and enthusiasm shown by the people of Michiana to come out and donate whatever they can for this event,” Coach McGraw said. “It’s the responsibility of each of us as citizens here in Michiana to do all we can to make a difference and improve the lives of our community. I hope we were able to do just a little bit to help that process along and make the holidays more enjoyable for our friends and neighbors.”
The Food Bank of Northern Indiana provides some of CFH’s food.
The Lady Irish take to the court again tonight after a nine-day break with a game at IUPUI.

Do you think you could reply to me with a little background? I'm interested in knowing if you are connected with any homelss services provider there in South Bend.
I am a writer who has been homeless for the better part of the last ten years. I just moved into a housing unit last week.
I want to start a street newspaper her in Utah. I'm thinking maybe I should start out online, then move ionto a printed version that the vendors can sell.
If you're not familiar with street papers ( it seems you must be, since you're blogging one_forgive if stupid question), reply to me and I'll get you some information. Or just search street newspapers. there's a lot of info out there online.
If there's anything I can do for your publivcation, let me know. I'd be glad to help.
