Northfield's Annual Food Drive

Fri, 11/17/2017 - 1:54pm

The Annual Northfield Food Drive will begin on Monday, November 20th and will end Thursday, November 30th. Please consider sending in a donation that will be given to FISH (Friends in Service to Humanity) of Howard County and will be distributed locally.  All goods are appreciated. However, in order to have well-rounded donations for families, we are suggesting the following:

 

Kindergarten: Lunch items such as boxes of pasta or noodles, spaghetti-o’s, spaghetti sauce, mac and cheese, canned soup

 

Grade 1:  Breakfast items such as pancake mix, waffle mix, syrup, hot and cold cereals

 

Grade 2:  Lunch/Dinner items such as dried or evaporated milk, fruit juices, canned veggies, beans, rice

 

Grade 3:  Lunch/Dinner items such as canned meats, canned seafood (salmon, sardines, etc.), canned fruits, canned potatoes (white, sweet, yams), canned vegetables

 

Grade 4:  General pantry items such as flour, cooking oil, sugar, jelly/jam, peanut butter, cake mix, jello

 

Grade 5:   Household items such as laundry detergent, dish detergent, toothbrushes, bath soap, deodorant, shampoo, toilet paper, disposable diapers

 

With your help we can make the holidays bright for those in need!  A table will be set up in the lobby and boxes will be located in each grade level.  You may also bring items with you to conferences.  Thank you so much!
