An Unusual Can Food Drive
Submitted by Mr. Gesin
Instead of collecting cans this year for the CAN FOOD DRIVE. We are asking families to donate to the Dixon food pantry. The Dixon Food Pantry told me that cash donations would be more beneficial for them. The pantry can use the cash to buy canned food from their outlets at a much better price per can than what we pay at the store.
As in the past, there is no requirement for our students to get involved in this activity. We have had great response to the can food drives in past years. We thank you for that.
There are two ways to donate:
1) Send the money directly to the food pantry instead of bringing it to school.
The address is:
Dixon Food Pantry
2001 West 4th Street
Dixon, Illinois
2) Drop the money off at the food pantry. They are open mornings starting at 9:30.
Thank you for your participation!
