Burnside Elementary Winter Food Drive will help stock the Red Wing Area Food Shelf again this year.
The drive will run three weeks and kicked off yesterday and students and staff may bring non-perishable items and cash donations through Friday, March 8.
Then on March 12, items will be dropped off at the food shelf.
There are a couple of ways Burnside Elementary students/families and staff can help:
1. Bring in food items that the Red Wing Area Food Shelf can use. Examples include:
· Mac n’ cheese, ramen noodles, pasta and pasta sauce
· canned tuna or chicken, canned beef, and peanut butter
· canned fruit, canned soup
· cereal, granola bars
· toilet paper and toiletries
· baking items such as flour, sugar, oil and cake mixes.
2. Give cash. The food shelf uses monetary donations to purchase more food for the dollar than food donations.
