Food Drive 2019

Our school will be participating in the Metrobus VOCM Thanksgiving Food Drive again this year. The food drive will run from Monday, October 7 to Thursday, October 10. As always, we only accept donations of non-perishable food items.
The most needed items identified by Community Food Sharing Association include tins of meat, tuna and beans as well as pasta and pasta sauce. Other items collected in the past include but are not limited to granola bars, kraft dinner, soups and puddings.
This is a great opportunity to build school spirit as well as continue Leary's Brook tradition of helping others who are less fortunate in our community.
The homeroom who collects the most items will win a pizza party!!
