Food Sharing and Food Drive at RRMS
Rocky Run Middle School is pleased to announce our recent relaunch of the Food Sharing program. Students now have the option to donate any unwanted, unopened food items to a local food bank. At the end of each lunch period, SCA members and Peer Helping students will be going around with bins to collect food donations for delivery to the Western Fairfax Christian Ministries (WFCM). Acceptable food items include, but are not limited to, milk, juice boxes, bottled water, fruits, yogurt, or dry, packaged snacks like crackers and cookies. That said, we encourage our students to eat their lunch and donate only the foods they don’t want.
We also welcome any non perishable foods or toiletry items you wish to contribute. If you see anything around your house that you’d like to get rid of that has not expired, please send them to school with your child and ask him/her to place them in the boxes in the cafeteria. A PTA parent volunteer will take your donations and anything from Food Sharing to WFCM. Thank you for your support
