Greenbriar West’s SCA is sponsoring a Holiday Food Drive as a school-wide service learning project. We will collect food for neighbors in our community who need assistance or may be homeless. During the course of the drive, students will learn about the causes for hunger in our area. All items will be donated to Western Fairfax Christian Ministries / Community Food Bank.
Who Will do This?

Our Goal:
To collect 2600 items ~ just 3 items per person. Of course, you may bring more!

(Tuna, chili, soup, canned spaghetti, dried or canned beans)
Week 3 (Nov 28-Dec 2) : Carbs: Fruits and Vegetables
