1st Food Pantry Drive - Next Friday

9/18/2024 12:59 pm

The first Food Pantry Friday of the school year is almost here! Mark your calendars for September 27th!

For those new to the Loring community, the SPS schools host a food drive one Friday a month to benefit the Sudbury Food Pantry. Our generous donations help families in need in our very own community.

You can donate to Loring's Food Pantry Friday in one of three ways:

1) Send donations with your student to school on 9/27 and they can leave it by their normal building entrance.

2) Too much to have your kiddo take on the bus or walk with?! Drop it off anytime next week at the drop box in front of the school!

3) A box will be in the lobby all month so if you don't want to wait to donate, send it in any day and have your student put it in the box! Items will be included in the next Friday Food Pantry count!

Last but not least, we need adult volunteers to make things run smooth on Food Pantry Friday. Mrs. Nikolich's 5th grade class will be leading up the sorting this month, so this is a great chance for any Nikolich class parents to come in and see your kiddo in action! You don't have to have a kid in the class to help though! If you are interested in helping, please sign up here.
 

Please reach out to Heather Larson at heatherjlarson@gmail.com with any questions.
