5th Grade Food Collection to Benefit Open Table
Grade 5 students are working together on a community service project to benefit Open Table, a local food pantry and meal program whose mission is to provide fresh food and household supplies to keep families healthy. We need your help to make our project - a school-wide collection of items for Open Table Kids Bags - a success! Open Table distributes more than 150 bags a week to children who visit the food pantry with their families.
Each grade is asked to donate different items to the bins outside their classrooms. Kindergarten - boxes of mac and cheese; Grade 1 - small, individual boxes of cereal or oatmeal packets; Grade 2 - 100% juice boxes; Grade 3 - fruit cups or applesauce cups (no sugar added); Grade 4 - granola bars, fruit bars, or canned soup; Grade 5 - canned soup/ravioli or snack-sized crackers/pretzels
Kids Bags will be prepared by fifth graders and delivered to Open Table in early November. Please see this flyer for more info. Many thanks for your support of this great organization and the kids and families they serve!
