From the end of November through mid-December, students and staff at York Suburban collected canned and boxed food items for the York County Food Bank’s (YCFB) annual Give A Meal food drive. This year, Apple Subaru provided extra incen
tive for participating school districts to collect items for the community by offering cash donations to districts that generated the greatest weight in collected items. Lead in total donations by the middle school, York Suburban collected over 5,800 pounds of food to earn first place in the competition. The $1000 prize will be donated to the York Suburban Education Foundation to support the many programs in district buildings providing for students and families in need.
The Give A Meal program created an opportunity for a coordinated effort among district students and staff to give back to the community. Several volunteers packed boxes at the YCFB, Impact Foundation members bagged and donated personal care items, and local churches teamed with elementary buidings to provide additional support through the Food for Thought programs to help make the holiday season special for all York Suburban families.
