Who paid for the turkeys being donated from Chartwells?

I am proud of our campus community for making such generous donations to fund the turkeys. I understand from the text on the donation boxes and from talking to Chartwells staff that customer donations are paying for the turkeys (not the company). I'm concerned that Chartwells will get the credit, as implied in the Cornerstone headline "Chartwells, UAF donate turkeys to Fairbanks food bank" and as happened with the water bottles given last year. Also, I would like to suggest that the next food drive be directed at our own UAF food pantry.
