Help Families in Need This Thanksgiving—Donate to the OMA Turkey Drive

November 11, 2015

The University community can help make this Thanksgiving a memorable one for a neighbor in need by contributing to the Office of Multicultural Affairs’ (OMA) 10th annual Turkey Drive.

A gift of $30 will sponsor a full meal for a family of four, but contributions of any amount are welcome. Donations will be accepted through Friday, Nov. 20, in the OMA office, Room 106 of the Union, or through departmental budget transfer.

For the first time, meals will be assembled and distributed from campus, and the University community is encouraged to help. For more information, contact the OMA at 412.396.1117.

The OMA is partnering with 18 community organizations for this effort:
