Food Drive to benefit Carolyn’s Community
It’s time to show that Willingdon community spirit! Because when compassion and community connect, real change happens. So, let’s come together to donate non-perishables, to be collected and distributed by Carolyn’s Community.
What do I bring?
Here are some suggestions for items to donate. Please try to keep in mind that a wider variety of healthy items is always best.
- Canned goods (fish, fruits, vegetables, beans, soups, broths, etc.)
- Dry foods (pasta, rice, quinoa, couscous, flour, sugar and other baking ingredients, breakfast cereal, oatmeal, etc.)
- Pantry items (pasta sauce, tomato paste, vegetable oil, olive oil, vinegar, peanut butter, salt, pepper, spices, etc.)
- Peanut-free lunch snacks (crackers, granola bars, cookies, pudding, etc.)
- Baby food (cereals, crackers, pouched purées, etc.)
- Staples (tea, coffee, condiments like ketchup and mayo, etc.)
Why is this important?
The food drive is an excellent opportunity to teach our kids about food insecurity — and not just globally but right here in our own community. There will be visual trackers to measure how much we’ve collected around the school so that students can track our collective progress and to encourage them to get involved in giving back locally.
Collection boxes will be at both Junior and Senior campuses every day for your kids to drop off donations.
Please give generously, if you can.
