The Lake Hamilton School District will hold its annual food drive from November 11 to November 15, 2024, benefiting the Lake Hamilton Parent Center’s food pantry and the Food for Kids Backpack Program. Did you know that each week, 289 students receive food assistance through this program? Backpacks are sent home with students on Fridays, providing supplemental food to help them over the weekend until they return to school on Monday.
To support this cause, each grade has been assigned a high-need food item. If you are able to participate, please send items to school with your student during the designated week. Be sure to check expiration dates on any food donations. Thank you for helping feed our Wolves!
