Join the MMS Annual Food Drive: Nourishing Our Community Together

As the crisp autumn air fills our town, it's not just the leaves that are changing - our community's spirit of giving is blossoming. This year, Memorial Middle School is proud to announce the kickoff of our Food Drive from November 13th to 17th. We're partnering with Feeding South Dakota to help those in need, and we've got an exciting and compassionate week planned!

The Power of Teamwork:

In the true spirit of camaraderie and friendly competition, our food drive is more than just a charitable event; it's a team challenge! We've divided the drive into our grade-level teams, each representing a part of our vibrant school community:

How Points are Scored:

To add a bit of excitement to our charitable efforts, each team will earn points based on their contributions:

For Every $1 Donated: 3 points
Donate the Food of the Day: 2 points
Any Other Food Item: 1 point

Food of the Day:

Each day, we encourage specific food item donations. Here’s the lineup:

13th: Canned Vegetables
14th: Canned Fruits
15th: Canned Meats
16th: Boxed Meals/Pasta
17th: Cereal

Where and When to Donate:

Bring your food items and donations every morning before school to the location near the trophy case until 8:50 am. For monetary donations, simply click on your team's link above and contribute online.

A Community United:

This food drive is more than just a collection of items; it's a reflection of our school’s heart and community spirit. As we come together to support Feeding South Dakota, we're also nurturing the values of empathy, generosity, and teamwork in our students.

Final Thoughts:

Let's make this year's food drive a monumental success! Whether you're a parent, student, staff member, or a friend from our local community, your participation makes a world of difference.

Together, we can fill not only the shelves of those in need but also the hearts of our entire community with warmth and kindness.
