Fall Food Drive
Our annual Fall Food Drive will take place from October 30 to November 17. The items we collect will help stock the District Food Pantry which is housed at Hixson and is run by the Hixson Leaders. The food items from the Food Pantry provides items for the Friday Food Bag program that was designed to support families that may experience food insecurity.
Students can bring in non-perishable food items to their Statesman Time between October 30 and November 17. Please do not bring food that is about to or already expired. Statesman Time groups will receive points per item. The Statesman Time group with the most points will win a reward (TBD)!
Thank you for your support of the Webster Groves Food Pantry!
