Harvest Drive Serves Thanksgiving Dinner
ocal schools are partnering with Harvest Drive, Inc. to make sure local families don’t go hungry for Thanksgiving. The organization, in partnership with more than 170 Broward County public schools and many area private schools will provide a week’s worth of groceries plus a gift card or perishable items to ensure 2,400 families enjoy a Thanksgiving meal. 500 of the families are
also given the opportunity to “shop for free” at Harvest Drive November Boutiques. The recipient families select gently worn clothing and shoes, gently used books and household items for their entire family. With generous donations, Harvest Drive is now able to also provide a selection of new toys. Students at participating schools have been collecting non-perishable items, household goods and grocery gift
cards. Collections began during mid October and will conlcude in early November. The items will be consolidated at 13 school-based distribution sites to ensure that recipient families receive 6-10 bags of groceries in time for Thanksgiving. The mission of the Harvest Drive, Inc. is to promote the concept of philanthropy to Broward County Public Schools (BCPS) students by providing the opportunity for them to give back directly to their community in a basic and meaningful way. Students working in conjunction with community partners provide food and other necessities including gently used clothing and household items to Broward County schools’ families in need during the Thanksgiving holiday and throughout the year. The Harvest Drive strives to educate students on the issue of hunger in our community and empower
them to take leadership roles in lessening hunger’s devastating impact. Members of the local community is encouraged to volunteer or donate canned goods and non-perishable items. Local schools serving as distribution sites include: • Piper High School • Plantation High Schoo • Western High School • Strahan High School
