Macon-Hall Elementary PTA

Shelby County Schools in conjunction with Kroger Food Stores and The Food Bank will sponsor the KIDS KAN Food Drive February 22 - 26, 2010. Canned goods collected by students and staff will be given to The Food Bank. Serving more than 300 charitable feeding programs in west Tennessee, north Mississippi and east Arkansas, the Food Bank fights hunger by efficiently collecting and distributing wholesome food, while educating the community about the problem of hunger and advocating on behalf of hungry people.

What a wonderful opportunity to teach young people their responsibility to feed the hungry and contribute to the community welfare.

A pizza party and various other prizes will be awarded to to the classrooms (K-5) that collect the most cans during the week.

The most needed food items are:

Peanut Butter
Canned Meats and Tuna
Canned Fruits and Vegetables
Canned 100% Fruit Juices.
Any non-perishable item, but no glass containers, please

CANS WITHOUT LABELS and SODA CANNOT BE ACCEPTED BY THE FOOD BANK.
