Overview
The United for Change and Diversity Club (UCD) is excited to announce its annual boxed-dinner project! As part of the project, UCD will be heading up a very special food drive. The goal is to collect enough turkeys and nonperishable food items to provide at least 10-15 free holiday dinners for food insecure families from York Tech. The turkeys will be donated by staff, while students are asked to donate the nonperishable food items.
There will be a collection box in each technical shop area until Friday, Nov. 20, 2026. Participating students should place donated items in these boxes. Each shop is tasked with collecting specific items, which are outlined below.
