Pender County Schools Kicks Off County-Wide Food Drive to Support Local Families
This November, Pender County Schools is launching a district-wide food drive to help local organizations that provide meals and support for families in our community.
Throughout the month, every school will collect non-perishable food items, with all donations staying local. Together, our schools, students, staff, and families can make a real difference for neighbors in need.
Requested items include:
Cereal, canned tuna, canned chicken, peanut butter, and condiments.
We’re also collecting individually packaged snacks like granola bars, Pop-Tarts, tuna packets, beef jerky, crackers, ramen noodles, pudding cups, Jell-O cups, fruit cups, Rice Krispies treats, and Cheez-Its.
“This food drive is about more than filling bins, it’s about filling hearts,” said Superintendent Dr. Brad Breedlove. “It’s a reminder that even small acts of generosity add up to something powerful when we come together.”
Collection bins will be available at all schools throughout November. Families are encouraged to participate and help spread kindness in our community.
Let’s come together to support the organizations that support Pender County.
