On November 14 from 11 to noon at Middlebury Elementary School, the Middlebury Elementary School/ Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) will be holding our annual drive-through “Stuff the Bus—Give Thanks Food Drive.”
The PTO is partnering with the First Student bus company, Middlebury Elementary School and Middlebury Mentors for the food drive.
“We reached out to First Student to see if they’d be interested in helping us again this year, and, without hesitation, they said they’d be happy to provide a school bus for the food drive,” said Michele Dunn, Middlebury Elementary School PTO. “We’re all looking forward to helping our local food bank/community pantry, and we’re inviting the entire community to come take part in this drive-through event.”
Items needed for the “Stuff the Bus—Give Thanks Food Drive” include pancake mix, syrup, peanut butter, jelly, canned tuna, soups (chicken and vegetable), canned suppers (stew and chili/chef boyardee) rice boxes or bags, mashed potatoes (box or packages), pasta, pasta sauce, cereal, cake or cookie mix, frosting and lunchbox snacks. Non food items needed include shampoo (child/adult), deodorant and soap (adult/child).
Cash or gift cards will also be accepted.
