CSSE Food Drive and Competition
CSSE is hosting a Food Drive event and competition from October 29 through November 9! The 4th grade class is leading the food drive as their SALT service project to help feed the hungry. Houses and grades will be combined to form teams. Each team will be collecting non-perishable food items to be donated to the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma. For the competition, the team with the most donated items will win a Sonic drink party! Examples of items to donate are: 
-canned protein like chicken, tuna, chili, beans, etc.
-dry white or brown rice
-canned vegetables and fruit
-dry pasta and pasta sauces
-boxed cereal
-boxed dinners (mac and cheese, hamburger helper, etc)
-granola bars
Nearly 50 million Americans, including 13 million children, are food insecure. Food drives are an excellent way to make a significant impact in our community!
