Vandegrift will be holding their 3rd annual holiday food drive this year for the Capital Area Food Bank.

Vandegrift Boys basketball teams, UNICEF, Student Council and Four Points Middle School are all organizations that are sponsoring and participating in the food drive.

Students are asked to bring canned goods and non-perishable food items and place them in the Capital Area Food Bank boxes located outside of the cafeteria and in front of the main office.

“Last year, we collected over 2,850 lbs of food! I hope that this year we can break that record!,” PALS/leadership teacher Amy Gallagher said.

The food drive runs through the end of the week, so in the holiday spirit, Vandegrift organizations encourage you to be generous with your giving so we can help all the families in need of food for the holiday season.
