Chesterbrook Academy in Exton Donates Food to Local Nonprofit

Students held a food drive for Chester County Food Bank and created Thanksgiving cards for families who are supported by the organization

Students at Chesterbrook Academy Preschool in Exton recently donated more than 30 bags of food to Chester County Food Bank. Over the past two weeks, students hosted a food drive to help stock the organization’s shelves and provide meals to local families in need. At the end of the collection, students organized and prepared the donations for delivery to the organization. In addition to the food drive, students created Thanksgiving cards to be given to families who are supported by the food bank. Through this initiative, students learned the importance of helping others in their community, especially during the holiday season.

Chester County Food Bank is the central hunger relief organization serving more than 120 partner agencies in Chester County. Through its network of food cupboards, hot meal sites, shelters and other social service organizations, the food bank has distributed more than three million pounds of food to neighbors with limited or uncertain access to adequate meals.
