Go Forth to Serve: MS Hosts Food Drive To Fight Childhood Hunger
St. Luke’s Middle School Service Board organized a food drive to benefit Filling in the Blanks, a Norwalk-based nonprofit that helps fight childhood hunger by providing food for kids to eat on weekends and during school closures.
Students in grades five through eight were divided into two teams—salty and sweet—and collected items such as raisins, potato chips, fruit snacks, and pretzels. The goal was to collect 215 of each item to make snack packs for food-insecure children to enjoy over spring break.
Following the collection, more than 20 seventh graders participated in an after-school community service event, taking all the delicious sweet and salty snacks and packing 305 bags to distribute to local kids in need.
