PWS Annual Food Drive 2019

During this time of year we are increasingly aware of how fortunate we are to have good friends, loving families, a place to call home, and food to eat. Unfortunately, we know that so many in our community are not as fortunate, and we feel that there is something we can do to help. Since we know that food banks are always in need of food, Peter Woodbury is holding a food drive for the New Hampshire Food Bank, as well as the Bedford Community Food Pantry.

This year, we will continue to partner with the Bedford Community Food Pantry in providing food for their School Lunch+ program.  This provides backpacks on Fridays with food for students over the weekend. This month, we are collecting single serving juice bottles (no glass please).  (Bedford Community Food Pantry- School Lunch+) 

Students can start bringing in canned goods, dry goods, and any other non- perishable food items the Monday after Thanksgiving (December 2). Contributions are not required and we are aware that there are so many different ways, events, issues, and causes to donate to and one family certainly cannot do it all. We'll kick off our food drive with a one item, small donation on Monday, December 2. When 500+ kids each do something small it adds up very fast; together we can make a difference. Next week, we'll target items that are of particular need by having theme days (listed below). All nonperishable items are appreciated and accepted. Thank you for considering this important effort and we wish everyone the best during the holidays.
