Or, you can send your video via text to 713-392-7725 or email it to Fred Clarkson.

UTO Spring Ingathering: May 29, 2022

We’ve all heard that money talks, but do you know what it says? It can say "Thank You" when you drop it into your Blue Boxes each day when you celebrate something you're thankful for to pay it forward. 100% of what we give to UTO is given away the following year to feeding programs, after school programs, offering medical care and more to those in need.

So, what can you give thanks for today that will bless others? Remember, the Ingathering is on May 29th, 2022. Please mail your checks to: Debbie Luke, 96 Baum Bay Dr, Kill Devil Hills, NC 27948. For more information, call 252-599-6997.
