Wylie ISD Christian Care Center Food Drive
We are now in the second nine weeks of school, which means we have shifted our Wylie Way focus from the values of respect and responsibility to the values of caring and giving. We believe it’s important to teach our students what it means to care for others and the impact of giving back to the community.
The annual Wylie ISD Christian Care Center Food Drive kicks off Monday, Oct. 23. Please consider donating to this food drive, which directly impacts people and families in our community through the Wylie Community Christian Care Center. Items needed include boxed meals, dry cereal, chili, condiments, jelly, and toiletries. You can find a complete list of needed items on the flyer. Donations can be conveniently dropped off at our campus. For those who may prefer to contribute monetarily, we offer the option to donate online (select your campus). The food drive runs through Wednesday, Nov. 8. Thank you in advance for your generosity and for making a difference in the lives of others.
