Poland Local Schools FOOD DRIVE - November 3-14, 2025

High school students stand behind collected food boxes for the Poland Local Schools Food Drive, held November 3 to 14, with the district seal and 2025 date displayed.

Poland Local School District Food Drive: November 3 - November 14

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. All Poland Bulldogs K-12 are asked to participate in the drive.

All food donations will stay within the community to assist families in need. The food drive will run from November 3 through November 14. 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.
