Santa Barbara County Food Bank

6th Grade Holiday Food and Funds Drive!

Help Us Help Others

This year, the sixth graders are running the “Food and Funds” drive for the Santa Barbara County Food Bank. The Food Bank has asked for healthier foods this year such as wild or brown rice, and canned fruits in 100% juice or water. They have also asked us to bring in money so that they can buy fresh food for people such as salad, bread, and chicken. The Food Bank has gotten enough sponsors so that if one dollar is brought in, the Food Bank gets seventeen dollars from sponsors. The sixth grade has been doing their best to help out by putting up several posters, designing cheerful boxes to put the food in, and coloring jars to hold the money that is brought in. The “Food and Funds” drive ends December 20, 2013. By helping the Food Bank, the number of hungry people is decreasing, one dollar and one can at a time.
