Help Stuff The Bus For The Hungry
School buses will be stuffed full of food for the second annual Wawasee High School Key Club Stuff the Bus non-perishable food drive.
It will be held the week of Oct. 28 to Nov. 2 and the goal this year is to stuff two buses full of food for the Syracuse, North Webster and Milford food pantries.
Food pantries rely heavily on community donations in order to ensure they have enough supplies to serve those who require assistance. Currently, the Wawasee Community School Corp. has about a 50 percent free and reduced price lunch rate among the student population.
Key Club members will be at the Dollar General store in Milford (SR 15) from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 29; from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 31, at NewMarket (SR 13) in North Webster; and from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 2, at NewMarket (SR 13) in Syracuse. Donations of nonperishable foods to the Stuff the Bus food drive will be collected by the students those days.
In addition, the buses will be at the high school every morning the week of Oct. 28 for student and staff donations. Donations will be delivered to the food pantries after school Tuesday, Nov. 5.
