Third Grade Service Learning
Each year, our Third Grade Huskies coordinate a food drive for Thanksgiving in conjunction with Children First (CF) of Buncombe County. The food drive starts today and ends Monday, November 17.
Buncombe County has one of the highest rates in the nation for food insecurity and as a community, we all have a part in helping out those in need.
Our third graders take that calling seriously. Last year, they helped deliver quite a few boxes of food to CF. They helped out numerous families and were quite successful in their endeavor to collect food and other items.
They are again collecting food and asking all Rainbow Community folks to contribute as they can. Their goal is to be able to deliver more food than last year.
Each classroom at Rainbow has food collection boxes to store the non-perishable items until they pick up all the food on November 17th. Below is a list of what Children First has requested. Feel free to print the list and distribute as you need.
Thanks to everyone for their generosity. In the spirit of gratitude, let’s come together and lend a hand!
