Class of 2021 US ARMY Food & Supply Drive
Now- October 15, 2019
Items may be dropped off in the donation boxes near the main entrances of the school buildings.
The Junior Class is sponsoring a food and supply drive for the US Army. The platoon we are collecting for contains a Holland Patent graduate. In the past our community has always gone above and beyond to support the students and this time we get a chance to give back to a former student and the Army. There is presently an urgent need for the requested items which includes non-perishable foods and toiletries. A full list can be found on the Holland Patent High School web page. Items may be brought into school with students in any grade and put in their donation box found near the main entrance. Any items that the Army may not be able to accept, we will donate to a Holland Patent food pantry. We truly appreciate your continued support and hope that this project is helpful to the Army, but also a life lesson for our students about giving back. The drive will end on October 15th. Thank you, the class of 2021.
