Catholic Social Services Food Drive

The Pride of Dayton Marching Band is pairing up with the Catholic Social Services of the Miami Valley to sponsor a food drive between December 1 and 17, 2008. All food donated will be given to the largest food pantry in the Miami Valley. CSS says that with the economy suffering and food and gas prices rising, they are seeing record numbers of people every day. Most of them are first-time visitors.

Please look for the bins placed in Stuart Hall, Marianist Hall, Reichard Hall, Kettering Labs, McGinnis Center, Kennedy Union, Campus South, and the Library in December. If you give your food items to a marching band member, you will be entered into a drawing for gift certificates to local establishments.

I hope you can all find yourselves able to donate something during this holiday season. Clean out your pantry before you leave for Winter Break. If you have any questions or want to be entered into the drawing, please let me know!
