The McIntyre Library Staff
Association giving project to support the Hmong Mutual Assistance Association (HMAA) rice pantry raised $1295.65. This is a
whopping 46% increase over last year and our second highest
total ever! Every penny goes toward buying rice, and this contribution will buy
more than 9000 pounds of rice, making a difference in the lives of our
Eau Claire area neighbors.
Thanks to all who participated, by
donating, fielding questions, and spreading the word. We were fortunate this
year to have the assistance of UW-Eau Claire Foundation in establishing the
online donation option and managing the contributions, and Andrew Vue,
representing some of the Hmong student groups, who helped get the word out.
