UCA’s Office of Student Life is organizing a Tornado Relief Effort to assist the victims of the recent storms that recently devastated parts of Arkansas.
Buses will depart from the Reynolds parking lot this Saturday, Feb. 23 at 9 a.m. to transport volunteers to the disaster areas. Food will be provided to all who participate, and the buses will return to UCA at 6 p.m. that evening.
All UCA faculty, staff, students, friends and family are encouraged to sign up for the trip prior to 12 noon on Friday, Feb. 22 in Student Center 207. Volunteers should wear layered clothes, durable shoes, and UCA apparel, and bring work gloves, rubber gloves, shovels, rakes, and other useful tools. Tetanus shots are available at the UCA Health Center for $2 for those who have not received one in the last five to ten years.
Donations also are being accepted at Student Center 207 for the following items: bottled water, cleaning supplies, work gloves, baby food, durable trash bags, gift cards, and non-perishable food items (boxed & canned).
This is just one of many donation drives and relief trips organized by UCA-affiliated groups. For more information about Saturday’s trip, please call 450-3137.
