Columbia鈥檚 Leadership classes are asking their peers to give back to the local community by participating in a聽Home Room Food Drive Challenge聽in support of Sodexo鈥檚 Stop Hunger campaign. Throughout the month of April, students have been asked to donate non-perishable food items to their home room classes, all of which will be distributed amongst the city鈥檚 various food banks. The home room class that donates the most items, measured in weight, will receive a special prize.
Ms. Milicevic鈥檚 ESLEO class聽is looking to represent the Maple building and win this year. Her students have already collected more than 1000 pounds of non-perishable items, costing an estimated $600. All are excited to be contributing and even happier to be helping members of the community.
Last year, students and staff; 鈥� collected聽5150 pounds聽of non-perishable food items for Hamilton鈥檚 Food Share, 鈥� donated聽150 breakfast meals聽to the Breakfast Club program at two local schools, and 鈥� prepared聽950 meals聽for Food For Kids.
Columbia hopes to exceed last year鈥檚 record and provide even greater support for those in need.
Stay tuned, the winning class will be announced next week.
