This is a time of year in which many people reflect upon all the things for which they are thankful. In many ways, America is the land of the plenty. Unfortunately, Alabama has one of the highest poverty rates in the country. One of every five children and one of every four seniors live below the poverty level, and many more Alabamians face "food insecurities," meaning a limited access to food. For 1 in 6 people living in the United State, hunger is a reality.
The Brookwood Green Team is collecting canned food items to donate to the West Alabama Food Bank. During the month of November, bring your canned goods to Ms. Barringer (Room 202) or Mrs. Reynolds (Room 203). Bring all canned goods by Tuesday November 26th.
For every five cans that you donate, you will receive one service hour.
5 cans = 1 service hour
