Sometimes you plan projects and have more of a response than you ever thought possible. That’s what happened when we organized the second annual Share Your Christmas Food Drive for students in preschool through grade 12. When members started planning, they never imagined how involved people would get. After 7 days of collecting foods, we ended up with more than 2300 items to put together food baskets for local families. The sixth grade and the sophomore class were the winners of the pizza party reward for bringing in the most items. But the collection didn’t end there. While the food was being counted and sorted, students went door to door and picked up community donations of food items. This collection brought in another 500 items to our food drive. Once we were finished collecting, members sorted the canned and boxed food into 45 families that are being helped by the Share Your Christmas program from the Walnut Grove community.
