FARMINGTON — W. G. Mallett School will hold its 18th annual "Helping Hands" food project on Friday, Nov. 20. Students will begin a walking rotation from Mallett School to the Farmington Community Center at 9:15 a.m. They will rotate until all the food they have collected has been delivered the Community Center.
Cascade Brook students will walk to the Community Center to deliver their food.
Food donations have been collected at the schools since the end of October. Students were asked to bring dry and canned goods or personal items from home. After the food is delivered, children view the many boxes of collected items, which is then transported to the Care and Share Food Closet.
Food is sorted by volunteers and loaded on a truck by Mt. Blue High School students in the Diversified Occupations Program.
This project is made possible by volunteers who give their time. Parents and community members are invited to join the event or make a donation. For more information, contact Pauline Rodrigue at 778-3707.
