has already begun not only in our office but within local companies. Many companies have found that getting an
early start on worksite campaigns can take away a lot of stress during the fall. Give our office a call or email
campaign@uwodessa.org to get a jump on the 2012 campaign.
Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive

Food Drive. The United States Post Office, in association with several national partners including United
Way Worldwide, will collect non-perishable food items for West Texas Food Bank.
2012-2013 Funding Cycle Underway

once again for volunteers from the United Way board of directors and the public in general to recommend the
