Students will have a chance to throw pies at “Eastern celebrities” while supporting the three food pantries in Charleston from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Nov. 8 in the Library Quad.

The event was originally supposed to take place on Nov. 1 and was supposed to kick off Hunger Action Month but was moved because of inclement weather.

“Pie a Celeb” is hosted by the Office of Civic Engagement and Volunteerism and will feature celebrities on campus, such as Eastern President David Glassman, for students to throw pies made of shaving cream at. 

Beth Gillespie, the director of the Office of Civic Engagement and Volunteerism, said they hope the same celebrities who agreed to help out will still be able to volunteer Nov. 8. 

“We are working on figuring out those details now,” Gillespie said in an email.

She said the new kick off for Hunger Action Month will be the “Let’s Talk Hunger” lecture with sociology professor Michael Gillespie. 

That will be at 5 p.m. Monday in the Doudna Fine Arts Center Lecture Hall.
