Psi Iota xi 
Elementary School Drive

Join in for the 2025 Psi Iota Xi Knox County Elementary School Drive sponsored by the help of Psi Iota Xi Sorority. All donations will benefit the 44th annual Food For The Hungry Drive. 

 

Mount Vernon area classrooms, including The Knox Learning Center and 6th Grade Mount Vernon Middle School, as well as Centerburg, Danville, and East Knox elementary schools, will join the sorority’s collection efforts, and each classroom will be supplied with collection boxes. Donations can be made from Monday, November 17, through Friday, November 21. The Top Five Food Items Needed are Canned Fruit/Vegetables, Soup (pop-top cans or packages preferred), Canned Meals (ravioli, Spaghetti-Os, and the like), Baked Beans, and Canned Meat.​

​

Though non-food donations are welcome, cash donations are encouraged because $1 donated is equivalent to $4.56 of buying power through the Mid-Ohio Collective. Checks should be made payable to Food For The Hungry. All donations collected in each school will stay in the community in which they were donated. These students are asked to demonstrate the idea that no one is too young to make a difference and that the community is better when we work together!

​

As in the past, the classroom in each participating school that contributes the highest number of food items per student will be treated to a pizza party sponsored by Psi Iota Xi. 

The top donor from each school will be honored in the Food For The Hungry broadcast at the Knox County Memorial Building on Friday, Dec. 13. The students will be recognized on our live video stream at www.mvnu.tv, as well as on 100.9 FM and 93.7 HD2 - WMVO, with reports given on WNZR and 93.7 the Super Q. ​
