UHD, Houston Food Bank Partner for Backpack Buddy Program May 21

The University of Houston-Downtown will host the Houston Food Bank's Backpack Buddy Program Friday, May 21, serving K-12 students. This initiative provides families and children in need with school supplies, food, hygiene packs and other items to ensure a successful school year.

From 3 - 6 p.m., or until supplies run out, UHD's Daly Street Lot will host a pop-up shop for the Backpack Buddy Program, and volunteers are needed. Interested participants can sign up for time slots online. Volunteers are encouraged to wear a UHD t-shirt for the event.

In support of UHD’s partnership for the event, the Daly Street Parking Lot will be closed to UHD parking. Parking will be available in the Naylor Street, Bayou, and Lot B parking lots. UHD shuttle bus will pick up passengers in the Naylor Street Lot.

For additional details on this event, contact Liza Alonzo, UHD Director of Special Events & Alumni Relations, at alonzol@uhd.edu.
