Re: Campus Holiday Food Drive

As we begin the busy holiday season, I write to remind you that the annual Second Harvest Food Bank UCSC Holiday Food Drive is in need of donations.

You can leave bags of non-perishable food items at your Mail Stop or send your check anytime to: UCSC Holiday Food Drive, 1156 High Street, Santa Cruz, 95064. (Make checks payable to Second Harvest Food Bank and note UCSC Food Drive in the memo section.)

The food bank truck will be stationed at the main entrance to campus on Wednesday, and Sammy the Slug will make an appearance from 7:30 to 8:30 in the morning to publicize the Food Drive.

Another opportunity to donate will take place at the faculty and staff
end-of-year holiday celebration on Tuesday, December 12, from 4 to 6 p.m at the University Center. Donation barrels will be located in the lobby.

For every $1 donated, Second Harvest is able to distribute more than $9 worth of food. A $10 donation provides one family an average of 50 meals.

Food collected during the Holiday Food Drive is used throughout the winter months to provide food and basic necessities to a network of approximately 160 human service agencies and programs that serve more than 45,000 people every month.

Please join us in our effort to increase donations to Second Harvest Food Bank by supporting the UCSC annual Holiday Food Drive.
