MHS Holiday Break Food Drive

Thanksgiving break will be here before we know it and Christmas won’t be far behind! What an awesome time of year to celebrate all for which we are thankful. Our students, here at MHS, have so much to be thankful for. But as many of them go home for break, their reality may be much different than what they experience while here in our care. Between Thanksgiving and Christmas breaks we anticipate needing 300 food boxes.

We are so blessed to have the opportunity to send our love along with our students, especially with those who may be the most in need. Your help and support are so appreciated. As we close in on this great holiday season, we are asking for your continued help to stock our shelves. We need to keep the supplies coming so we can continue this work.

If you would love to help and haven’t had a chance or if you’re wondering what items we need, well wonder no more.
