2017 Peter Woodbury School Annual Food Drive

By -

Dear Parents,
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 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.  Every other month, our school will collect one particular item for this program.  This month, we are kicking it off by collecting juice.  (Bedford Community Food Pantry- School Lunch+)
Students can start bringing in canned goods, dry goods, and any other non- perishable food items this Friday. 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 this Friday, December 1st. When 500+ kids each do something small it adds up really fast; together we can really 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.


Friday, (12/1) - Any item “Together we can make difference!”
Monday (12/4) - Juice
Tuesday (12/5) - Tuna
Wednesday (12/6) - Soup
Thursday (12/7) - Peanut Butter and Jelly
Friday (12/8) - Mac and cheese
Thank you,
The Fourth Grade Team
