The 3rd Grade Class will be hosting our November Stewardship Appeal: Feed the Hungry Food Drive to benefit Serra's Pantry.
The third grade class recently learned about Serra's Pantry at the Mission Basilica and the needs of the hungry in South Orange County. They learned that the three most needed items locally include: Peanut Butter, Jelly, and Cereal as families can stretch these items into multiple meals. They also learned that organizations like Serra's Pantry are very resourceful and work in collaboration with local grocery stores and other agencies to provide items such as produce and protein that might not otherwise be available.
Our school wide food drive will begin on November 4th and will continue through November 19th. Our 3rd grade is asking each student to bring in at least one item (or more) to help support those in need in our local community! The students can bring items to their homeroom class. Let's all join together to support those in need and to make a real impact. All homeroom classes with 100% participation by November 19th will earn a free dress day. Go Monarchs!
Serra's Pantry has provided a handout with a list of items needed, a copy of this handout will go home with the students to help with the collection. The link below is a copy of that list.
For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you made me welcome... Matthew 25:35
