Farmingdale Students Collect Food for Local Community

The Farmingdale School District recently hosted a food collection drive at Farmingdale High School to collect food for local families in need. The food drive, ‘Hunger Doesn’t Vacation,’ was part of an ongoing District initiative intended to give students a platform to organize charitable activities and be involved in their community in a meaningful, productive way. During the food drive students collected hundreds of cans of soup, dry pasta, tomato sauce and other nonperishable foods.

Along with tangibly helping local families, the program also helped teach students about the unfortunate epidemic of hunger in America.
