U&I: Partners for a Caring Community
Last week, a man who had just eaten at the Catholic Worker House soup kitchen handed me a small doll. It is a symbol of how much human beings want and need to give to each other.

There is still time for members of the UI community to give through the Campus Charitable Fund Drive. You have an opportunity to acknowledge your connectedness to others: to support, for example, those agencies that help some of us become parents through adoption; or improve our environment or the health and safety of us or our loved ones. In giving to CCFD you give a gift to yourself.

CCFD gives you the choice of where to give and how much. You can give outright or pledge through payroll deduction. And once you’ve given, you can tell the telemarketers who interrupt your dinner "I gave at the office."

Campus Charitable Fund Drive

Campus Charitable Fund Drive Campaign deadline is Nov. 30
The current campaign is at 77 percent of goal. If you haven’t already, turn in your pledge card by Nov. 30 to your Unit Leader to contribute to this year’s Campus Charitable Fund Drive.
