Bismarck State College's annual Taco Run Food Drive returns Tuesday, Nov. 17, in the BSC Student Union on the college's Edwards Avenue campus. BSC's event listing invites students, faculty and community members to take part, and notes that despite the name, "no actual running" is required.
This is the seventh year for the drive, according to BSC.
The Details
- When: Tuesday, Nov. 17, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., per the BSC event page
- Where: BSC Student Union, Bismarck State College, 1500 Edwards Ave.
- Who: BSC says students, faculty and community members are welcome
- How to take part: A donation of 10 non-perishable food items or $15 comes with a free Taco-in-a-Bag and a sticker, according to BSC
- Where the donations go: The Mystics Magic Pantry, according to BSC's online donation page
The body of BSC's listing says "Thursday, November 17th," but the listing's dated header and calendar entry give Tuesday, Nov. 17, 2026, and Nov. 17 falls on a Tuesday this year.
Donating
BSC says donations are accepted at check-in on the day of the event. Money can also be given in advance through the college store's Mystics Magic Pantry Taco Run page, which offers preset amounts from $10 to $50 and an option to enter a different amount.
BSC's listing describes the drive as a way to "help fill someone's plate this holiday season." It does not say which foods the pantry needs most.
Also on BSC's Calendar
BSC has listed its Holiday Concert for Tuesday, Dec. 8, at 7 p.m. in the Sidney J. Lee Auditorium. The college says the concert is open to the public. The listing does not mention tickets or admission.
