Food Drive for Children and Families in Need

As 75% of the students at Ben's school live at or below the poverty level, the staff at Kid's First are taking on a food drive to provide food baskets for these families during the holiday season. The Grandy family will be helping the staff at Ben's school to collect the below donations for this holiday food drive. 

Frozen chickens, turkeys, hams
Boxed stuffing mix
Salt
Pepper
Butter
Instant Potatoes
Cranberry Sauce
Canned Corn
Canned Green Beans
Condensed Milk
Cream of Mushroom Soup
Frozen Rolls or Breads
Boxed Macaroni and Cheese
Frozen pies
Cake Mixes & Frostings
Paper Plates
Napkins
Disposable Roasting Pans
Or any other shelf stable or freezer safe items that you think the families might enjoy.

The minimum goal is a Thanksgiving dinner for each of these families (approximately 60). If any local friends are interested in donating food items, please contact Kelley! She would be happy to come pick up any donations and deliver them to Ben's school. Donations will be accepted until the 19th of November.  THANK YOU!
