In light of all that is going on in the world we have the opportunity to give back! We are holding a food drive from November 3rd-20th benefiting our immigrant neighbors and those affected by ICE through Immigration Legal Defense Center and Casa De La Raza and teens and families at Noah’s Anchorage Youth Crisis Center. There is specifically a need for non-perishable food items for Thanksgiving meals and to fill pantries. Below is the list.

This is a wonderful opportunity to teach your child(ren) about giving back! We invite you to involve your child in the process by creating a grocery list and going to the store to pick out the items! There will be bins here on campus to put them. The goal is 100lbs of food per organization (at least!).
