PHMS Annual Food Drive Benefits Community
T
he Pleasant Hills Middle School ’ s annual Thanksgiving Food Drive again was a rousing success , thanks to staff , students , families and members of the community coming together to help those in need . The drive has been a tradition for more than 20 years for PHMS students , staff and the community to provide food and again demonstrate the empathy District families have for those in need in the community .
All items collected during the PHMS Thanksgiving Food Drive were donated to the food bank at the Olivet United Presbyterian Church in West Elizabeth in time for distribution prior to Thanksgiving .
Members of the community began bringing food items to bins at the PHMS front entrance in mid-October . Fans attending the Oct . 29 TJ football game helped “ Pack the Truck ” with the donations they brought to TJ Stadium . For the second consecutive year , a community collection event was held at Tavern In The Hills to conclude the food drive . Members of the public were able to drop off drive-thru donations outside the restaurant .
