The High School Community Service Organization is holding its annual Fall Break Food Drive from Tuesday, September 20 through Monday, October 3. Every year Middle School and High School put together bags of food, which the organization distributes to students who live in the Edgehill community. There is an increased need for meals during holidays and school breaks because some students are regularly provided breakfast and lunch at school.
 
Below are the items needed for advisories to put together a complete bag. Please consider bringing an item below or cash for the club to purchase fresh fruit and bread that will be purchased the day before the bags are delivered. No glass, please. Each bag will feed one child for one week and contains kid-friendly food that requires little preparation and kitchen tools.
  • one package breakfast/nutrition bars
  • one box of cereal
  • four bowls/packages of Kraft Easy Mac Original Macaroni and Cheese
  • one 4-pack of fruit cups (pop-top or peel back, please)
  • one package of fruit snacks
  • peanut butter or cheese crackers
  • two cans of Ravioli/Spaghetti O’s (pop-top, please) or two cans of kid-friendly soup (pop-top, please)
  • one jar of peanut butter
  • one jar of grape jelly
  • two bags/cans of tuna
  • one reusable grocery bag (a bigger bag such as those from Kroger, Whole Foods, or Trader Joe’s)
If you have any questions, please contact any of the Food Drive 2022 Chairs Sophie Kavalali '23, Chloe Cmelak '24, or Dhruv Reddy '24.
