High School Food Drive

Starting on November 7th, Carlisle High School students and staff will be collecting food and other necessities to help stock our local food pantry.  To make it fun, each grade level and the staff have a goal based on each person bringing in four items.  If the students in a grade reach their goal, they will get to pie a teacher in the face (meaning four teachers could get pied)!  Likewise, if the teachers reach their goal, we get to pie a student in the face!  Our overall goal is 2,512 items.

There are several items that are seriously needed to support local families during these tough economic times.  These include:  soup, cereal, canned fruit, shampoo, soap, toothpaste, kleenex, and toilet paper.  Some items that are NOT needed at this time include:  canned vegetables, ramen noodles, or baby food.  Remember- everything donated will benefit families in our community!

Ms. Hillebrand and the CHS student council are the sponsors of this event.  All donated items can be brought in to Ms. Hillebrand and identified by grade level (so it counts toward the grade level donation).  Donations are being accepted until November 16th!

If you or someone you know needs help acquiring food or other necessities, please contact Deb Moeller at 515-989-0365 (Carlisle Food Pantry) or the Warren County Necessity Pantry at 515-961-1074.
