For over 30 years, the Kiwanis Club of Fern Ridge has organized a food drive during the holiday season. Fern Ridge Middle School has played a big part in this good work for hungry families in the Fern Ridge area.
Classrooms will be competing to see which class brings in the most pounds of food. We will also include the money donations again this year. For every dollar donated to a class, we will add two pounds to the class’s total weight count. The money will help Kiwanis buy fresh food and goods to add to the family food baskets.
The winning class in each school will get to choose between a pizza party or an ice cream party to celebrate the students’ hard work. The drive continues through Wednesday, December 18th. Collection boxes are in classrooms.
Suggested items include canned meats, canned fruit, canned vegetables, pasta, rice, soups, chili, canned beans, dried beans, canned tomatoes, spaghetti sauce, etc.
