UNC Staff Assembly conducts statewide
‘Day of Service’

The UNC Staff Assembly has asked the UNC system’s more than 43,000 staff members to show that they have a heart. Through Feb. 12, UNC system campuses and General Administration are collecting canned goods and toiletries for local food banks and charities.

The effort will culminate on Feb. 15, when each campus will deliver its donations to the charity of its choice. Carolina’s donations will benefit Loaves & Fishes in Burlington and CORA Food Pantry in Pittsboro.

All departments are encouraged to put collection boxes near their recycling bins – one to collect food for the Chatham and Alamance County food banks and one to collect shoes for Haiti.

Contact Matt Banks in the Employee Forum Office, forum_office@unc.edu, with the location of departmental collection boxes so he can arrange to have the items picked up. You can also send any questions to that e-mail address.
