The annual canned food drive starts Tuesday, October 22 and runs through October 29th. Please be generous and bring as many nonperishable food items as possible. We usually collect over 2,000 items to donate to Manna Ministries and Oak Mountain Missions. The items that you donate will benefit families who are in need in our community. Each grade level advisory class will compete to collect the most items for their grade level and the winner will win a pizza party. Please leave prepackaged items together. OM Missions is in great need of peanut butter and jelly, because they include these items in each bag that is given to a family.
