Last year we
collected 1000 pounds of food for the local Paradise Valley Emergency Food Bank! We
will reach that this year or possibly break our own record with 1500 pounds! Every little bit helps! Please look through your cupboards and see if you can spare a can or two, or if you see a great deal, pick
up an extra for the food drive!
The class
that brings in the most pounds of food will have an ice cream party! Each
class will log the weight of their donations weekly, keeping a running tally of the total weight. We will announce the heaviest
class on Monday, December 7th!
The food bank appreciates
any non-perishable food items! This includes canned vegetables, beans, fruit, meats such as tuna fish and salmon, soup, peanut
butter, jelly, pasta, macaroni & cheese, packaged desserts, hot and cold cereal, fruit juice, stews, and chili. In addition
to food, other items such as soap, toilet tissue, laundry detergent, diapers, personal hygiene products, and pet food are
also welcome donations.
Collection boxes will be
available in the classrooms. All donations will be delivered to Paradise
Valley Emergency Food Bank (PVEFB) on a weekly basis.
This is an incredible
service project for our students and the food bank appreciates our support!
