Here's your chance to help several area people in need: The UACCM English department is collecting food items for Manna from Heaven in Morrilton, a food pantry that lost most of its stock in the recent fire downtown. The pantry serves approximately 800 area families each month and has been forced to throw out all food due to glass and smoke damage. According to a Manna from Heaven volunteer, the pantry was forced to throw out approximately $10,000 worth of food and is currently having to turn hungry families away. If you would like to donate canned goods or dry goods (like cereals and pastas), please drop these items off in the English Department common area (Kirk Building Room 133) . These items will be collected until next Friday, October 1, at which time they will be delivered to Manna from Heaven. Thanks in advance for your donations to this worthy cause!
