Fall Food Drive Challenge vs KCI Raiders

Posted November 15, 2021

We will be collecting donations as a school to support the Food Bank of Waterloo Region. We recognize that this is a difficult time of the year for many in our own community.  As a school, this is great opportunity to come together and make a difference.  There is power in unity and power in numbers, and we can’t wait to see the impact our school community can make.  While we’re at it, we can enjoy a little friendly rivalry with the KCI Raiders to see who can donate the most during this food drive!

HOW CAN YOU HELP?

Staff and students can donate in one of two ways.  

  • There are boxes from the Food Bank set up at each of the 1st , 2nd & 3rd floor entrances.  Non-perishable food items can be dropped off on your way into the school.
  • The Food Bank has set up our own personal webpage to make donations (tax receipts available) and to track our progress here- https://www.thefoodbank.ca/sjam/
