Trick or Treat So Kids Can Eat

You know how it feels when you’re really hungry

On October 31st, students from Kellam High School will be collecting nonperishable food in your neighborhood for the Food Bank of Southeastern Virginia. The Student Food Drive is a nationwide community service project sponsored by Tyson’s. Trick or Treat So Kids Can Eat (TOTS-EAT) is a nationwide community service project of the International Thespian Society, a student honor society division of the Educational Theatre Association (EdTA), the professional association for theatre education.

During the time kids are collecting candy, our students will be around to pick up food for the less fortunate. Thousands of students across the U.S. are working together to try and collect 250,000 pounds of food this year. All donations help people locally. We hope you’ll be able to contribute to our donation total. In the past three years, Kellam students have collected 6,678 pounds (2005), 10,526 pounds (2006), and 14,821 pounds (2007) of food.

Thank you in advance for helping us to make a difference in our community

If you would like to participate in this canned food drive, please place the cans out on your porch by 6:00 p.m. on October 31st. You can also drop off cans at Kellam (2323 Holland Rd) between October 29th and November 3rd. Any questions, call Mrs. Smith at 648-5400, ext. 59138.
