BES Canned Food Drive 2015
Communities Supporting Communities: November 2-6
FINAL COUNT of NOVEMBER 2015 CONTRIBUTIONS!!!
WOW!!!! OUR BES students and families came through for our community again this year!!! Because of your generous contributions, BES collected 3510 food items!!!! We are so thankful for EACH of YOU!
Spread the Cheer This Time of Year!
Each year, Benson Elementary School and local Community collaborators offer caring support for our families in need in many ways throughout the school year and especially during the Holidays. One way Benson Elementary School makes a positive impact for our families in need is through our annual Canned Food Drive. Our school's canned food contributions are then given to BAMA (Benson Area Ministries Association), who then share food, gifts, clothing (in collaboration with Christ's Community Christmas Closet) with our Benson Elementary families in need.
