Dear Room 6 Families,
Hype will be our organization who is running the Canned Food Drive this year. Hype will be distributing Thanksgiving meals for families that are struggling, will go out and feed homeless veterans, individuals at a Detroit homeless shelter and refugees. Each meal will consist of a turkey, canned corn, boxed mashed/scalloped potatoes, cranberry sauce, canned green beans/vegetables, Jiff cornbread/cake mix and canned fruit.
Our class made a goal of 290 cans to be turned in by November 15th! If each student brings in 10 canned goods (including me), then we will make our goal. The prize for meeting our goal will be a pizza party on November 26th.
Students can collect these canned food items by going house to house asking for donations or asking family members and friends.
Here is the list of acceptable non-perishable items that your child can donate.
- Canned pumpkin
- Canned yams
- Cranberry sauce

From,
