NO EMPTY BOXES is the goal of this year's annual United Way Day of Caring Food Drive. Wegmans has given 150 banana boxes to the United Way and has issued a community challenge to see if we can fill them all!
Bins will be placed in the lobbies of the Campus Center, Park Business Center, Park School of Communications and CHS. The bins will be collected the morning of September 11th and brought to the community collection site at Stewart Park.
Please see the wish list below for specific item requests!
