JOIN THE HUNGER HEROES

The 14th annual Kids Helping Kids Public Schools food drive starts September 1st and runs through October 31st.

Every school in Fayette County participated in the food drive. Over 35,600 students donated a record 99,855 pounds of food making this our most successful and largest food drive of the year. Our goal this year is to again have 100% participation and to exceed 100,000 pounds in food donations. Eastside Technical Center students donated 15,658 pounds and we challenge all high schools to try and match that amount.

For information please contact Robert Srodulski food drive coordinator, 288-5330 or download, complete, print and fax or email the registration form to 254-6330

FOOD DRIVES

Product donated through food drives is used to stock our food pantries located at Broadway Christian Church, Central Christian Church, Gardenside Baptist Church, Nathaniel United Methodist Mission, Pilgrim Baptist Church and St. Luke United Methodist Church. With the current state of the economy, almost daily increases in fuel costs and the price of food we are serving more households than ever before.
