Community High School Food Drive
Every fall, Community High School students join together to raise funds to help our neighbors experiencing food insecurity. This year they have already raised $30,000 for Food Gatherers and have a generous matching pledge from the Harold and Kay Peplau Family Fund for up to $50,000. Community students have been raising money for Food Gatherers since 2009, and this is one of the top fundraisers across the country for high schools. Community Forum leaders have taken the lead with this fundraiser and worked hard with their students to both raise money and awareness about food needs in our county.
