Every year the National Honor Society holds a canned food drive; this year, the drive is running in January and, with these donations, families needing food in the Olympia community will be fed.
National Honor Society still needs volunteers for the canned food drive committee to help with the coordinating. This includes meetings and helping with making people aware of what’s going on and transporting the cans.
Collection boxes will be placed in every advisory. Whichever advisory can produce the most canned food will be winning a prize yet to be determined.
Last year, NHS held a canned food sculptures competition in the commons with the donated cans. NHS hasn’t decided yet if they will do that again or think of something new. Either way, bring in as many cans as possible to help the community.
Mrs. Hapgood, NHS advisor, said, “We appreciate all the donations but make sure you check the cans' expiration date before turning them in.”
All the cans raised will be delivered to the Stanford food pantry at the end of the food drive. Boxed food can be brought into take away points from other advisories.
For a small donation of cans, you can help feed a family and win a prize for your advisory. Help out the community on January by bringing in some cans.
