Last Call: Annual Thanksgiving Canned Food Drive
St. Michael's all-school canned food drive ends on Tuesday, November 15, to benefit the St. Michael's Church Food Pantry. In these challenging economic times, the Food Pantry is serving more people than ever. Food items will be collected in homerooms and advisories.
See this flyer for a more comprehensive list of suggested donations. Please ensure the canned goods you donate from your pantry have not expired.
The cans collected will be "blessed" at our November 15 Chapel service. As Harvest Helpers, our fifth graders will sort all of the food donations and deliver them to the Food Pantry. Thank you in advance for your support!
