Merryhill Preschool Students Donate 600+ Food Items

Students collected nonperishable food items and produce for food banks at four local schools

Students at Merryhill Preschool on Alta Drive in Las Vegas recently donated more than 600 food items – including produce and nonperishable goods – to help feed local children during the holiday break. The donations were the result of an annual school-wide food drive to help provide meals to children who would typically rely on free meals at school. At the close of the drive, students helped load the donations into vehicles for delivery to food banks at four local schools. Through this initiative, students learned the importance of giving to those in need in their community.
