UCan Help! UCBA Holiday Food Drive

The UCBA Library and the UCBA Student Nurses Association are teaming up again this year to sponsor the UCBA Holiday Food Drive from Monday, November 14th through Friday, December 9th. Look for donation bins in Muntz Hall Lobby and Commons, and Walters Hall Lobby. Have library fines? For each non-perishable food item brought to the UCBA Library Information Desk, $1 will be subtracted from library fines (up to $5).

Not sure what to donate? Check out the Freestore Foodbank web site for a list of accepted and most needed food items: http://freestorefoodbank.org/take-action/make-donation/donate-food/, and don’t forget to check those expiration dates!

For more Food Drive details including Donation Day on December 1st when you can also receive UCBA swag for your donation (monetary or non-perishable food items), check out the latest on UCBANow: http://www.ucblueash.edu/now/2016/11/14/ucba-holiday-food-drive-through-dec-9/.

Let’s work together to help end hunger in our community this holiday season.
