Project Excel Food Drive Ends

December 23, 2014 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm

The Kennedy Day School Project Excel Program is hosting their fifth annual food drive!  The food drive will take place from November 10th through December 23rd.  The food collected will be brought to the Brighton APAC (Area Planning Action Council) Food Pantry, which is a local organization that services families in the Allston/Brighton areas.  The people who receive the food qualify for it dependent upon their income.

If you would like to participate, please bring a food item in and drop it in the donation boxes located in the KDS Office, Hospital Main Lobby, Pastoral Care, Cafeteria,, Building 8 (by the elevator), and Outpatient Department.  The students from Project Excel will be collecting the items each afternoon.
