I hope that in a single day, in the name of national service, that the students at my high school will donate as many nonperishable goods as they can so we can collect and donate them to our local nonprofit organization who will then, in turn, distribute the food to families in need.
On September 11th 2014, our high school's Roots & Shoots club will set up an area in the middle of our student center and all day long collect, stack and organize the nonperishable food donated to us. We will have volunteers and club members collect the donations in the designated area and after school count the total number of donations received. All goods collected will then be taken to Neighbor To Neighbor, our town's local nonprofit organization, who will give the food to families who need them supporting those less fortunate and showing how we can all make a difference one donation at a time.
