Food Drive
Canned food drives are popular around Thanksgiving and Christmas; however, people are in need of food every month of the year. First, select an area code or neighborhood you wish to serve. Then, gather a list of donors who will be provided with brown paper bags marked with the date they will be picked up. You will need help from other individuals and/or parents to help the youth distribute the bags and return to collect them. This activity helps students develop a passion for outreach and service. When young people are the ones initiating conversation and leading the operation, it will leave a lasting impression on the community.
