Cans to Candeleria is the annual food drive held at UNC to help the Weld County Food Bank. They will accept both cash and cans. $1 buys 6lbs of food or $10 at retail.  (With the economy the way it is, the food bank needs help more than ever. Their direct food plans have increased 50% since last year, they help 6,000 county people each month and the food bank serves a 4,000 square mile area. In Weld count alone, 39% of kids have reduced or free lunches (one of the highest in the state). Our goal this year is to raise 40,000 pounds of cans and cash.)

Cans and cash will need to be turned in by 2:00 p.m. to the Candelaria parking lot.  This event is worth Spirit Week Points!
