“MEET THE NEED” Food Drive

Next week will kick off the December SCS Food Drive.  Entitled “MEET THE NEED”, the event will help provide meals for SCS Community Families over the holiday break.  There have been thirty families identified as needing help (87 children & 52 adults) for the 16 days of break.  Many of the families are either homeless or expect to be homeless within the next few months.  The food drive expectations are to raise $10,000 (in food or cash) to provide 1000 meals (at $10 per family meal).  A suggested amount of $10. spent for purchased food from the classroom list or a donation of $10 for each family meal  sponsored would be very much appreciated!  A thermometer showing progress made toward the goal will be located in the SCS lobby.

The food drive will last one week, begin next Monday (Dec. 8th) and end on Friday (Dec. 12th).   Boxes will be located in each classroom along with teachers’ envelopes for those that wish to make a cash donation.  All cash/checks donated will be used to buy perishables/food items for distribution to needy families.

Each individual class has been given a suggested list of items to donate which should alleviate receiving too much of any one item!

For families wishing to make a cash donation, the cost of each meal for a family of four is $10.  Please contact Sue Schaefer with any questions at 985-3331 ext. 151 or sschaefer@cssu.org.

Low sugar/low salt items are greatly appreciated!
