Helping Hungry Kids
We have had a very generous donation of 1,200 weekend food bags from two Girl Scout troops in North Reston. Over a few months, they organized food drives, managed a purchasing budget, and gathered to put the bags together on a Sunday afternoon in March. We're very appreciative of their support and efforts!
Thank you to students who attended the GEMS conference at Dogwood Elementary School on March 10 and brought food donations. Students at Dogwood organized and managed the food drive, which was very successful!
Our regular monthly food drives will continue throughout the rest of the year, we'll be at the Fox Mill Giant on the 3rd Saturday of each month, from 9:30 a.m. till 2:00 p.m. If you have an hour or two to spend with us handing out fliers and collecting food donations, we'd love to see you on Saturday, May 19.
Shift times are below:
At Fox Mill Giant: 9:30am till 11:00am; 11:00am till 12:30pm; 12:30pm till 2:00pm.
At Altum for sorting: 2:45pm till about 4:00pm.
