COMMUNITY SERVICE PROJECTS:

Badger Football Fall Food Drive

With another Badger Football season comes another OC Badgers tradition – the Badger Football Fall Food Drive. It is so easy to help, not to mention convenient! Just bring a non-perishable food or daily living item to any Saturday Badger Football Viewing party. You will receive a raffle ticket for each donated item; drawing will be held at the end of the regular football season. All items will be donated to Share Our Selves helping families in Orange County.

Items to donate: Canned Foods (no glass items) such as veggies, fruit, tuna, soap, etc; Package Goods such as potatoes, pasta, rice; New School Supplies such as backpacks, pencils, pens, erasers, notebooks, folders, crayons; Personal Items such as small bottles of shampoo and conditioner, lotions, soap bars, toothpaste, toothbrushes, etc.; Baby Items such as new clothing, food, formula, diapers; and Bedding such as new blankets, and sleeping bags.
  • 2011: THANK YOU OC BADGERS! Our Chapter donated 333 canned and boxed non-perishable food items, 34 lbs. of personal items, and a check for $25 to Share Our Selves in Costa Mesa from our Badger Football Food Drive!

Christmas Cheer: Adopt-A-Family

OC BADGERS participate each year in Share Our Selves Adopt-A-Family (SOS) program. To give, we simply ask that you put cash or checks (payable to UW Alumni Club of Orange County) in the holiday decorated gift cans that will be at each Badger Football viewing party. At the end of the season, with your generosity we hope to have enough to purchase gifts and food for two deserving families of Orange County.
  • Christmas 2011: THANK YOU OC BADGERS...from all your Football Saturday donations, we were able to give to our two military families for the Adopt-A-Family drive through Homefront America!

Rebuilding Together Orange County


For over 15 years, OC Badgers have teamed up with Iowa Alumni to help Orange County neighbors through a non-profit organization called Rebuilding Together Orange County (RTOC). RTOC's mission is to improve the safety, health and quality of life for low-income, elderly and disabled homeowners across the County.
We are asking our UWOC Alumni Chapter members and friends to come out on Saturday April 28th to support our major community service effort of the year. Volunteers of all levels of expertise are needed!

If you would like to pitch in and help, send an e-mail to Adam Haussman (haushaus@live.com) or call Adam at 562-522-6363.
