The Providence Anchor Club is once again joining together to rally our school to give abundantly for needy families right here in Jacksonville. We will be collecting specific food and household items assigned to each grade. These food items will help restock the New Life Food Pantry, which plays an important role in feeding hungry neighbors year-round, especially during the holiday season.
The Food Drive will begin officially on October 7 and end on October 25. The class who participates the most (Lower, Middle, High) will receive a dress-down day on November 4th as a “thank you” for such excellent participation.
You may bring items in ANY DAY of the week and bring them to class or leave them on the table in the main entrance.
As always, items will be counted and the grade that contributes the most of their assigned items in Lower, Middle and High School will receive a dress-down day on Wednesday, November 4.
