Interact Club Hosts Food Drive

by: Lauren Tooley

Brevard High School’s Interact Club will be hosting a food drive competition through the month of March. The food will be donated to Manna Food Bank, who will distribute it to many local charities including the Sharing House in Brevard. Each student’s third period class has a box in it that they can put their donated food in.

Manna Food Bank has a list of recommended foods, which includes:
Canned meats (beef, chicken, tuna)
Peanut Butter (plastic jars only)
Dried/Canned Beans (pork & beans, pinto, kidney, black)
Hearty Soup (pop-top cans preferred)
Meals in a Box or Can (beef stew, chili, mac & cheese, hash)
Canned Fruits (fruit cocktail, raisins, applesauce)
Canned Vegetables (green beans, carrots, corn)
Cereals and Grains (rice, pasta, cereal in a box or bag)
Fruit and Vegetable Juice (100% juice preferred)
Dry Milk (instant non-fat)

The club is offering a prize for which ever class donates the heaviest amount of food. The prize is up to the teacher and the class, and can range from a pizza party to individual gift cards for each student.

On Tuesday, March 24, the Interact Club will be hosting a final weigh in during lunch of the food donated by each class. There will be activities and more opportunities for students to win prizes. The winner will also be announced during the event.

Students and teachers can contact club president Lauren Tooley or club sponsor Laura Patch for more information.
