The
University of Iowa Department of Radiology brought in more
than two tons of food and over $500 in cash donations for
the Crisis Center in Iowa City during its annual food drive.
Over
the past five years Radiology has sponsored the drive as
a part of National Radiologic Technology Week. This year
the department decided to introduce a little friendly competition
by dividing the department into 11 teams to see who could
bring in the most food. The winning team would be rewarded
with a pizza party. Every day staff were sent charts mapping
each team's progress. The goal was to collect 700 pounds
of food, but the department

exceeded
that goal by bringing in 4,643 pounds of food. The interventional
radiology team (pictured top) won the competition by donating
almost a ton of food.
In addition
to maintaining a food bank, the Crisis Center of Iowa City
provides emergency assistance, crisis and suicide intervention,
as well as counseling and referral.
