UAF staff contributed 98 pounds of food and $100 to the Fairbanks Community Food Bank's Bone Builders program during a collection effort in May.

Bone Builders replaces the school breakfast and lunch program in summer, providing meals for children who would otherwise go without.

The University Advocacy Committee, a committee of UAF Staff Council, organized the collection effort on campus. It set boxes in the Signers' Hall lobby, the Student Recreation Center, the Geophysical Institute, the Harper Building, the Institute of Northern Engineering and Facilities Services to collect single-serving food items.

The University Advocacy Committee thanks everyone who contributed. It hopes to support the Bone Builders program in the future.
