Crest View Food Drive Tuesday, September 3rd - Friday, Sept. 13th

Did you know that Crest View has a food pantry and a weekly food bag program that serves our families in need? Last year we sent over 2,000 bags of food home with our students. To help do this, we host a semi-annual food drive in the fall and mid-winter. We are asking for individually packaged snack items and select pantry items to help augment our weekly donations of shelf-stable foods from Community Food Share. You can send donations via your students' classroom or purchase directly via our Amazon Wish List. It is a grade-level competition so make sure to note what grade your child is in. More detailed instructions can be found here.
