NJHS Canned Food Drive

Carolina vs. Clemson

It’s time for our annual Clemson vs. Carolina Food Drive! This year’s food drive will kick off on Tuesday, November 3, and run through Friday, November 13. All donated canned and dry boxed food items will be distributed throughout our local community to help families in need.

How to Participate:

• Students may bring in canned and dry boxed food items such as canned vegetables, canned meats, spaghetti, and other nonperishable food items.

• Each homeroom teacher will receive a tally sheet to keep track of donations for Clemson and South Carolina.

• When bringing in donations, students should let their homeroom teacher know which team their items represent: Clemson or Carolina!

• A National Junior Honor Society student will visit each homeroom every morning to collect donations and tally sheets.

Our Goal: 3,300 Items!

Last year, our Vikings collected an amazing 3,235 items in just 10 days! This year, we are raising the bar and challenging ourselves to collect 3,300 items! That is a big goal, but we know what our LMS family can accomplish when we work together.

A Quick Reminder About Counting Donations:

Items purchased together in a package count as ONE item, not as individual items inside the package.

For example:

• A 6-pack of Jif peanut butter cups counts as 1 item, not 6.

• A bag containing 32 individually wrapped pieces of candy counts as 1 item, not 32.

Every donation makes a difference, and every item helps us support families in our local community!

Let the can collecting begin, Vikings! May the best team win!
