Merryhill Schools Donate 200+ Food Items to Local Food Bank

Students at Merryhill Preschool and Merryhill Elementary School in San Jose recently donated more than 200 food items to benefit Second Harvest Food Bank.

At the close of the drive, students helped load the items into vehicles for pickup. Through this initiative, students learned the importance of giving back to others in the community.
