Union Holiday Support
As we approach the holiday season, we recognize that many of our families may struggle with providing food and necessary items (e.g. warm clothing) for their families. We will be offering a food bag that has been donated to our school and depending on student need we may have other items available.
Holiday support is based off donations to our school. If additional items are needed we can request donations, but we cannot guarantee we will get them. Other resources for holiday support are attached.
**Please click here to sign up by Wednesday, December 11th.**
Items may be picked up on Thursday, 12/19 and Friday, 12/20.UMS Food Drive – Month of November
