The biggest food drive of the year is almost here! Tomorrow, November 15th, is Food Pantry Friday (and STUFFY DAY!) and one of the most critical drives for the Sudbury Food Pantry. Please consider donating and help the Food Pantry make a holiday meal possible for some local families. Please see graphic for most needed items.
You can donate in 1 of 2 ways:
1) Have your student bring your items to school TOMORROW and leave it by their normal building entrance.
2) Have too much for your student to carry? Drop it off any time today and leave it in the bin under the front awning!
If you have any questions please reach out to Heather Larson.
