Our school-wide food drive benefiting the Oregon Food Bank is here! Just to have a little fun with it, we are making it a competition between elementary, secondary, and staff, to see who can bring in the most units (cans, bags, boxes) from the recommended list. See the link here https://www.oregonfoodbank.org/get-involved/host-a-food-or-fund-drive/what-to-donate/. We will be collecting food until December 20.
