APSF Holiday Event
Food 4 Kids - We Need You!
The OCE Kids Corps Food 4 Kids program provides a weekend supply of nutritious food for children when school lunch and breakfast are unavailable over the weekend. All food is nonperishable and provided to children FREE of charge. It is our hope these resources will support the health, behavior and achievement of every student at OCE that participates.
The pantry, however, is running low. Please consider helping by sending in non-perishable items for the Food 4 Kids pantry. We need items like:
- Canned Meats (Tuna, Chicken)
- Beans (canned or dried)
- Rice (small bags)
- Soup or Ramen Noodles
- Mac & Cheese
- Individually bagged snacks (Goldfish, Pretzels, Raisins)
Collection bins located outside the front office .
You can also send in Publix Gift Cards or donate money here.
Thank you for your generosity.
Silent Auction Update
Items are coming in and we are so thankful to you and our business community for your generosity.
HOWEVER, we are still in need of some big ticket items. Do you have a vacation home or rental you could donate for a weekend getaway? Do you work somewhere that could offer a unique event experience?
The options are endless. Not sure if it's a good fit? Just email oce.pta@gmail.com to donate or ask questions. You can also submit the form attached below.
Anything donated will bring in 100% profit for the school.
We also need help picking up items that have been donated. If you're interested in helping out, contact Whitney Brown at samdeebrown@gmail.com.
For more information on the auction, please visit our auction page here.
