2024 Food Drive - Poland Local Schools - Large group of seventh through twelfth grade students with canned food goods

Poland Local School District Food Drive: November 4 - November 15

We are excited to announce our annual districtwide food drive, sponsored by Poland Middle School's PANDA Club and the Student Councils from both Poland Junior and Senior High Schools. This year, we are expanding our efforts to include McKinley Elementary and the Middle School, hoping to collect more food than ever before for our local food pantry!

All food donations will stay within the community to assist families in need. The food drive will run from November 4 through November 15. Every donation, no matter the size, makes a difference, and together, we can have a lasting impact on those in need.

Every year, our students come together to collect an incredible amount of food that helps sustain our local pantry for several months. Thank you for your continued support and generosity in making this food drive a success. Together, we can make a meaningful difference for families in our community.
