Realizing that there are individuals in the Florence
community whose lives have been changed because of the
numerous lay-offs and closing of industries and businesses,
the members of the Margaret Edwards Chapter of the South
Florence High School National Honor Society invite all
students, faculty, and staff members to participate in the
canned food drive scheduled to begin Tuesday, November 10,
2009. All canned goods collected will be donated to the
Manna House, a non-profit organization that provides two
meals a day to individuals who have lost their jobs, homes,
cars, and/or families and rely on the goodness of caring
individuals in the community for their daily bread. Please
bring the canned goods and place them in the brown bags in
your first period class. Only canned goods that have a
non-expired date will be accepted. Members of the National
Honor will go by the rooms and offices, empty the bags, and
place all canned goods in Mr. Vincent’s office. If enough
canned goods can be placed in Mr. Vincent’s office, he will
be forced from his office. Everyone can bring in as many
canned goods as they want to donate. Please join the
members of the National Honor Society in bringing enough
canned goods to make a difference in the lives of the people
who are dependent on eating daily from the Manna House. The
canned food drive will culminate Friday, November 20, 2009.
