A team of Med Students will also be participating in the Trick or Eat Program through the Meal Exchange Program. Med Students will be visiting homes in Masonville location on Halloween to ask families for food donations to support the London Food Bank. Students and faculty can help by making donations to the UWO Meds at http://my.e2rm.com/TeamPage.aspx?teamID=139000&LangPref=en-CA. Proceeds are collected by the Meal Exchange program and go straight to the London Food Bank.
