Nearly 1,000 recyclable tote bags were collected at the Administration and Finance Division’s Holiday Party in support of the Personal Early Educational Performance Support (PEEPS) Pantry, a program of the College of Education.
The bags will be used by the pantry, which assists students in need. The pantry is stocked with canned goods, microwaveable meals, non-perishable items and hygiene products, which students can take with them using the donated tote bags.

The A&F Holiday Party took place Thursday, Dec. 13, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. in the Houston Room of the Student Center South. Before entering the event, employees were able to drop off donated bags at a collection table set up outside the entrance, which Lee and A&F volunteers manned with smiling faces.
Hundreds of employees representing the many diverse departments under the A&F umbrella came to the holiday celebration. They were able to enjoy a delicious lunch catered by UH Dining’s Fresh Fork catering service, browse through a swag giveaway station for goodies and be creative with costumes and props at the Lucky Shots photo booth. In addition, many were able to submit in advance a name for Pippi’s Art Asian Name Painting.
