HSCS Food and Coat Drive
We can make a difference!
Our Food and Coat drive is going on now!
Food Donations can be brought to your child's class or to The Merc.
Coats can be left in the donation box by the school office.
Our focus this week will be on the Thanksgiving Baskets that our local Food Banks
supply to those in need. On November 17 we will deliver donated food items.
The following items are most needed:
Canned Pumpkin, Cranberry Sauce, Evaporated Milk, Canned Yams,
Gravy, Stuffing, Broth, Olives, Instant Mashed Potatoes, and Canned Fruit.
-
Two of every three people who rely on the Food bank are either children too young
to work or seniors who have worked most of their lives.
-
79,183 Idaho children (21%) are food insecure, the 6th highest rate int he country.
-
One in eight Idaho children - 52,500 - go to bed hungry every night.
