❤️🩶 **GOOD DEEDS BEFORE A GOOD TIME!** 🏁

Before we turn up for **HAWKCOMING 2K26: Formula 86**, let’s show our community what it truly means to be a HAWK!

The UMES National Alumni Association is putting our motto, **“Deeds, Not Words,”** into ACTION!

This Homecoming, we’re giving back by supporting initiatives that make a difference in the lives of our UMES students!

❤️ **Mama Hytche Resource Center**– Collecting nonperishable food items to help combat food insecurity.

👔 **The Justice Rack** – Collecting gently used professional attire to help students dress for success, from interviews to internships and career opportunities.

🧴 **Project Hygiene** – Collecting personal hygiene products to help students access everyday essentials with dignity and confidence.

🛍️ **HOW CAN YOU HELP?**

Bring your donations to **Alumni Central November 6 in the SSC and November 7th at the tailgate!** Every contribution, big or small, can make a meaningful difference.

Homecoming is about more than parties, pictures, and reconnecting. It’s about remembering where we came from, lifting others as we climb, and leaving our beloved UMES better than we found it.

🏁 **Before we hit the gas on a GOOD TIME, let’s fuel our campus with GOOD DEEDS!**

Let’s show the next generation of Hawks what alumni love, service, and community look like!
