College Football Fans take over the
spanish springs town square For

College Colors Day
By MARK ANDERSON

August is here and that means it is time for College
Colors Day in The Villages!
The yearly event, sponsored by Bealls Outlet, is always a big deal for Villagers as they come out to cheer
their favorite college team and celebrate the beginning
of the college football season.
Break out the college gear, wear your favorite colors
and compete with your neighbors for best costume or
most school spirit.
College Colors Day is also a great time to donate food
to those less fortunate. The annual food drive raises
thousands of pounds of food for local charities, including the Christian Food Pantry, the Wildwood Soup
Kitchen, Grace Tabernacle and others in the surrounding area.
We caught up with Carrol Neal, director of the Christian Food Pantry.
"College Color Days are always an exciting and fun

time to begin our fall season at the pantry. During the
summer months when children are out of school we are
always extremely busy and our supply of non-perishable
goods turns over very quickly. When you assist an average of over 300 families each month, it is nothing for us
to go through 1,200 to 2,000 cans of vegetables, soups
and canned meat in just one month!
Thanks to our very generous college team supporters, we are able to begin the season with our shelves
stocked and ready for those in need. It is always fun and
heart warming to see the deliveries come in!
Thanks to all for being so kind to those less fortunate!"
Food donations can be dropped off at Bealls Outlet
stores in The Villages beginning Aug. 20th, and College
Colors Day begins at 6 p.m. on Aug. 31st on the Spanish
Springs Town Square.
We'll see you there!
