The Stanislaus County Fair Board of Directors had again invited USF to collect canned food opening night July 29 at the Fair Gates. COLLECT THEY DID - over one ton of food - for the USF food program. Maris stated that the donations were higher than last year but so is the homeless and hunger needs. Our heartfelt thanks goes to all those who volunteered and worked at making this event so successful. We could not have done it without YOU !!
