Tower Hill School Holds Annual “Thankful Turkey” Food Drive to Help Local Families

Red Bank, NJ, November 2015 – Tower Hill School (THS) collected food and grocery items for local families in need. THS Students colored “Thankful Turkeys” and listed what they were grateful for on the feathers. Students then contributed food items for each feather. When the collection was over, approximately 50 “Thankful Turkeys” were created and nearly 260 items were donated to the St. Anthony of Padua food pantry. The items included bags of rice, dry beans, and canned beans along with additional groceries.

“I'm so thankful to be a part of a school with such a generous heart,” said Lauren Fisher, Tower Hill School Community Outreach Chair. “This collection of food for St. Anthony’s gave us the perfect opportunity to teach our children about giving this holiday season. I believe this is one of the most important lessons we can teach our preschool age children, and I’m so thankful the Tower Hill community embraces these opportunities with open arms.”

St. Anthony’s Food Pantry is a community service of St. Anthony of Padua Church in Red Bank, NJ providing food, clothing, housewares and other items to individuals in need.
