Feed The Need Food Drive
the problem:
We are doing a food drive with Do Something's Feed The Need. There are many schools in our area that have children who do not get to eat on the weekends. We are going to choose one elementary school in our area to donate the collected food to. Many teachers have been bringing in food on their own to put in the kids' backpacks so the kids have food to eat on the weekends and over vacations. With Christmas vacation approaching, their is a huge need for lots of food!

We will be passing out flyers letting residents of our community that we will be driving in their neighborhood on a certain day and that if they would like to participate, they just have to leave a bag of food on their front porch and we will pick it up!

We hope to help collect enough food for 10 kids to be able to eat something everyday over Christmas break.
