Huge food drive at Richards for Thanksgiving

Donations for food pantry at Pilgrim Faith

Faculty sponsors and students from Richards High School clubs and organizations stayed late yesterday to sort donations for the Thanksgiving food drive to benefit the food pantry at Pilgrim Faith United Church in Oak Lawn.

Groups who organized the longstanding holiday tradition at Richards included Class Officers, Leo Club, National Honor Society and Tri-M (music honors).

To boost donations, Richards made the food drive a contest: The first period class collecting the most received a breakfast party from Great American Bagel!
