The UUFF Board of Directors sends heartfelt thanks to Y'ALL group, Anne Prichard, Fawn Smith, and Cliff Beacham for their participation in creating and installing a Little Library/Pantry on the grounds of UUFF. Great work!
This project was started by UUFF's Young Adults Leading and Learning (Y'ALL) group and has been completed and installed by Cliff Beacham. You'll find it along the sidewalk to the right of the entrance to our main parking lot. We have limited space in there, but we'd like to keep it stocked with a combination of books and some pantry items to help out those in need. If you have a few things to contribute (and I mean a
few!), you can drop them off at UUFF or place them directly into the Free Little "Pan-brary" (clever, eh? Hah!).
