Colorado State University

"One of the projects that I am most proud of is our partnership with Beef Sticks for Backpacks.  This unique charity supports kids facing food insecurity in Colorado.  Each week our students and staff work together to manufacture over 20,000 beef sticks that are distributed to the 64 counties in Colorado.  Through this partnership of industry, academia, and philanthropy we can produce a high-quality beef stick and support our community. "
