We are joining Fordson in the Battle Against Hunger this year. This competition is between our 3 high schools. Since our students feed into Fordson we are #TEAMFORDSON! Please bring in at least 5 food items that can be donated to the less fortunate in our community. We accept any cans, boxes or bagged food that has not been opened. If you prefer to send in $5.00 or any amount we will purchase the items for you. Please do not send any perishable items or items that are expired.
