in the food drive. Last year, a couple hundred UO employees raised almost $54,000—<b>how much could we raise to make a difference right here in our community if more of us donated</b>, even if those individual donations are relatively small? <o:p></o:p></span></p>

be a <b>one-time donation</b> at about the cost of eating out for lunch, $10-15. If 5% of UO employees gave like this, we could raise almost $5,000—the equivalent of 15,000 meals. Donate through our online giving site
