2011 HARVEST FOOD DRIVE
Members of Devon Prep’s Christian Action Program (CAP) worked tirelessly this fall collecting donations for their Harvest Food Drive benefitting St. Elizabeth’s Community Center in North Philadelphia. The students, in grades 6 through 12, collected more than 5,600 food items including turkeys and canned and boxed goods. All of this food, more than 150 cartons, was first presented for a blessing during a Mass of Thanksgiving in the school’s gym. After the Mass, CAP members delivered the donations to the Project H.O.M.E Food Cupboard at St. Elizabeth’s. Mrs. Helen Brown, Director of the Food Cupboard, and several volunteers were on hand to accept Devon Prep’s generous donations which included canned vegetables and soups, jars of apple sauce, peanut butter and jams, boxes of pasta, stuffing, rice and mashed potatoes, tomato sauce, tuna fish, peanut butter and fresh bread.
