Food Drive




East Sandy Elementary Food Drive benefiting the Utah Food Bank
November 11-22, 2013
 Students can bring their cans and nonperishable food items to their classrooms. The top three classes who donate the most food will earn a pizza party. Thank you for supporting the Utah food bank!

Did you know:
1 in 6 Utahns are at risk of missing at least one meal per day. This equates to 472,000 Utahns, or 17% of our population. Even more alarming is that 1 in 5 kids are unsure where their next meal is coming from. With your help last year, we were able to donate over 36 million pounds of food, the equivalent of over 28 million meals, to families across the state. Please help us serve even more of our state this year!
