It's Thanksgiving Project Week!

Thanksgiving Project at

Collingwood Junior School

Monday, October 5 to Friday, October 9

Every year, in October, the children of Collingwood Junior School pause to consider how thankful they are for all the good things in their lives. During this time, we ask Junior School students to help those who are less fortunate by bringing food donations to school.

Students can bring their donations to school from:

Monday, October 5 to Friday, October 9, 2009.

Donations can be dropped off in the School’s lobby.

Please donate non-perishable food items. Here are some suggestions:

juice

cans of fish and meat

canned fruit and vegetables

pasta, pasta sauce, boxes of cereal

condiments (mayonnaise, vegetable oil, salad dressing, etc.)

dry goods like sugar, flour, tea, coffee

jams and jello and pudding

cookies, crackers

baby products, including diapers

All donated items will be delivered to Harvest Project. Harvest Project is the only not-for-profit on the North Shore who since 1993 has been reaching out to individuals and families in an attempt to help them cope with difficult life circumstances.

In past years when the filled-to-capacity School van has arrived at the Harvest House location, they have been overwhelmed and very grateful for the generosity of the Junior School families.

Thank you for your support of this very worthwhile activity.
