Annual student services holiday food collection succeeds
January 17, 2014
The 5th annual Student Support Services Holiday Food Drive provided food boxes to to
16 students and their families, helping more than 32 people during the holiday break.
The SSS staff members thank everyone for supporting the drive. Not only were faculty,
staff and students generous with food donations, but monetary donations totaled more
than $200. This money was used to buy perishable food for the families, including,
milk, cheese, eggs and bread.
Remaining food and money was donated to the Wood Center Pantry to help support even
more UAF students.
One student sent this message: "Thank you for your efforts with the food boxes. …
The food I received was greatly appreciated. Thank you and Happy Holidays."
