The High School Community Service Club held its annual Fall Break Food Drive Tuesday, September 20 through Monday, October 3 and exceeded its goal to fill 80 bags of food during the drive. 

Middle and High School advisories were challenged to put together at least one bag of food containing each of the following items:
  • 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)
The USN community overdelivered and, as a result, the club had a surplus of additional food to donate to Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee. There is an increased need for meals during holidays and school breaks because some students are regularly provided breakfast and lunch at school, and the club's work will help to combat this issue.
