Socktober & Fall Food Drive
What? The members of the Senior Ministry of Caring are organizing a sock and food drive this month
Why? To help Kingston residents who may be struggling with food or housing insecurity. Students want to help make a difference as the weather turns colder.
When: October 14th-November 7th
Where: Families who would like to participate in the sock and food drive can send items with their child. Non perishable food items will be kept in classrooms. Students can bring their sock donations to the front foyer and put it in their colour house bin. Let’s see which colour house can collect the most socks!
Socks: The biggest need is for adult socks, in warm materials such as wool, fleece and polyester blends. We will donate them to Socks Kingston, who distribute them to agencies across Kingston.
Food: We got in touch with the Partners in
Mission food bank. Here are the items that they are most in need of at the moment:
- Canned meats & fish
- Peanut butter, jam
- Stews, chunky soups, and canned tomatoes
- Pasta & pasta sauce
- Cereal
- Baby food and formula
