The Helping Hands committee and CLC has done a FANTASTIC job this year. All non-perishable items were donated to the Arkansas Foodbank and to UALR Staff Senate Helping Hands. CLC met their goal of reaching 13,000 (they actually reached 14,000!) and helped Staff Senate fill remaining items needed for Helping Hands baskets. In the end, we provided food to 150 families in the UALR community.
This year, we were lucky to have students from Bale Elementary help sort and pack food boxes on December 17th.
CLC and Staff Senate also encouraged a friendly competition between UALR campus departments and organizations. Listed below are the top suppliers.
