Cans! Cans! We need cans!

We will continue to collect for the Food Bank Backpack Program in October. Carrying those cans to my car in September was a piece of cake. I challenge you all to make it more difficult for me in October! So bring on those 15 oz cans of fruit and vegetables - I'll bring my wagon!

Social Consciousness Project - September

It's that time of year! The FoodBank Backpack Program is once again in full swing. Don't forget to bring your donation of 15 oz cans of fruit or vegetables to the September 16th UAAD meeting.

The goal of the BackPack program is to provide four to five meals for the student and his or her family over the weekend. Thank you for helping UAAD contribute to this cause!
