SPECIAL PROJECTS

Project Care is an outreach project by the UA Inspirational Singers to assist students who are single parents. It came about as a result of learning of the struggles of single parents who are students at the University of Arkansas. Each month, student participants in the ensemble bring can goods for a single parent basket. Those items are combined with additional food, meat, and diapers (if appropriate). The basket is given to a different single parent each month by the President of Inspirational Singers and the Project Care team.
