Day of Giving originated at Elm Place Middle School in 2011 when students and staff came together to collect and donate food, clothing, toiletries and winter gear to help support families in the Highland Park / Highwood communities.
As schools unite for the 14th consecutive year the PTO has committed to raising $1500 for a bulk food purchase (200 boxes of instant rice & 400 boxes of mac ‘n cheese) to support this year’s initiative.
To be distributed on December 7, Day of Giving donations will provide 200 local families with the following:
- 2 Grocery Bags of Food
- 1 Bag of Personal Household Items (Toilet Paper, Toothpaste, etc.)
- 1 Basket of Winter Clothing & Toys
- Fleece Blanket
- Gift Card to Local Grocer
