The Bridge Creek Cougars are working on helping the
environment as well as the hungry! The Bridge Creek Elementary 4th & 5th Grade Club is gathering Pounds of Plastic for Harvest Hope Food Bank The mission of Harvest Hope Food Bank is to provide for the needs of hungry people by gathering and sharing quality food with dignity, compassion and education. Harvest Hope distributed over 27.5 million meals last year and fed approximately 48,000 people a week. Imagine how many plastic bags it took to distribute that much food!?!? On average Harvest Hope goes through approximately 2000 bags per day. As we move into the Holiday Seasons those numbers will increase. Our plan is to deliver enough bags to help Harvest Hope distribute the needed food to families in need throughout the Holidays. Please save and donate your PLASTIC GROCERY BAGS. There is a collection box located at the RCSD Headquarters on Two Notch Road OR contact RCSD Deputy Kelly Pounds, Bridge Creeks School Resource Officer at 803-462-3900 ext. 32458 or [email protected] to arrange for pick-up or for more information. THE BOXES WILL BE PICKED UP ON DEC. 12th so get you bags in today.
