Our Selected Project For Fall 2024
BUCKEYE FOOD ALLIANCE
The Service Committee invites you to join in a food collection to support the Buckeye Food Alliance (BFA). The University Women’s Club has been a generous benefactor of both the Buckeye Food Alliance and the Career Closet portions of the Buckeye Resource Center in the past. BFA works to reduce the impacts of food insecurity through outreach efforts and the operation of a client choice food pantry to ensure that No Buckeye Goes Hungry.
The collection will occur on MONDAY, March 3, 2025 at the Lunch and Learn event at the Longaberger Alumni House. You don’t have to attend the luncheon in order to participate; just drive into the parking lot and a Service Committee member will take your contribution right from your car.
BFA has updated their donation process and request that we focus on 2 desperately need items:
- Spices
- Rice products
Cash donations are most welcome; you can make those check donations on line by clicking the DONATE NOW button at the bottom and sending in your check by choosing the GENERAL SERVICE FUND or write a check (made out to UWC with a “service” note in the memo line) or in cash and bring to the luncheon .
You can make a donation to the GENERAL SERVICE fund by scrolling down to the bottom of the page: DONATE NOW Click on the General Service Fund. Fill in the information as requested and click “Checkout”. This is a secure credit card transaction. You can also send a check to the address listed if you prefer.
