second harvest food drive
November 5-9th
The Ormondale 2018 Second Harvest Food Drive is coming up soon! This year it's November 5th-9th! Before the drive, students will meet with their school "families" to decorate paper bags to take home and fill with food to donate to the Second Harvest Food Bank. We hope you will send your Ormondale student with a bag full of food to donate during our food drive week! Last week we earned a bronze award from Second Harvest for our collection efforts -- lets beat that this year!
Bins will be available outside of the Ormondale office for donations 11/5-11/9 and we'll have volunteers during car line drop off to help as well. If you'd like to help, please contact Milana McCullagh ([email protected]).
