At Temple University in North Philadelphia, student-athletes and University Police are joining forces to make a meaningful difference in the fight against sexual assault.

Temple's women's track and field team, cheer team and University Police came together Monday to participate in a special initiative aimed at raising awareness. In an effort to support the community, the group prepared more than 150 lunches for the Bethesda Project Shelter, a local nonprofit that provides emergency shelter to adults experiencing homelessness, many of whom have also been victims of sexual assault.

As athletes and police came into Temple's McGonigle Hall, they quickly turned the space into an assembly line of compassion. From assembling sandwiches to packing snacks, the atmosphere buzzed with energy as they worked together.
