All Knox County High Schoolers are encouraged to join in their school’s efforts to support FFTH.

 

School Collection Dates: 

Centerburg, Nov. 9-13

Danville, Nov. 2-6

East Knox, Nov. 30 - Dec. 4

Fredericktown, Nov. 9-13

Knox County Career Center, Dec. 1-9

Each school is unique in how they encourage students to collect. Last year, East Knox High Schoolers raised several hundred dollars with their “Penny Wars.” Knox County Career Center often has collection competitions between the labs within the high school. Schools are encouraged to be creative and have fun as they collect food and raise money for their neighbors and classmates in need. 

 

The Top Five items needed for local pantries are Canned Fruit/Vegetables, Soup (pop-top cans or packages preferred), Canned Meals (ravioli, Spaghetti-Os, and the like), Baked Beans, and Canned Meat. While food donations are always welcome, cash donations are encouraged as $1.00 donated is equivalent to $4.56 of buying power through the Mid-Ohio Collective. Checks should be made payable to Food For The Hungry. 

​

The top donors from each school will be honored in the Food For The Hungry broadcast at the Knox County Memorial Building on Friday, Dec. 11. The students will be recognized on our live video stream at www.WNZR.tv, as well as on 100.9 FM and 93.7 FM HD2 - WMVO.
