🐦💘 Early Bird gets the date… or at least the cheaper ticket. 😉

The Dating Game is coming to Tuscaloosa, and Early Bird pricing is officially on the clock.

Grab your tickets by SEPTEMBER 24 before prices go up — because commitment may be scary, but paying more for the same ticket is worse. 😂

Come for the live dating game. Stay for the drinks, laughs, red flags, green flags, silent auction and maybe a little chemistry. 👀🔥

📅 Thursday, October 8
📍 Cypress Inn Pavilion
🎟️ Early Bird pricing ends Sept. 24 - https://uwwa.org/dating

Don’t swipe left on this deal. 💋

Hunger Action Month is a time for all of us to show our commitment to make sure everyone is able to put a meal on the table. One way that our 2-1-1 Information & Helpline is doing that is through our partnership with DoorDash Impact which is marking 150 million meals delivered through Project DASH. We are proud to be a part of this incredible milestone by helping in the fight against hunger in West Alabama. Just so far this year in West Alabama, 1,656 meals have been delivered through Project DASH.
