This year, the Kensington Woods Drama Club is participating in the Trick-or-Treat So Kids Can Eat (TOTS-EAT) program. We will be collecting non-perishables and canned goods throughout the month of October to donate to Gleaners Food Bank. Our goal is to collect 1000 pounds of food.
Please take the time to stop in and help fill up our donation boxes which will be in the Big Room starting Thursday. Your generous donations will go to help the more than 12 million hungry children in the United States, many of whom live right here in Livingston County.
Kensington Woods Drama Club will also be hosting Bake Sales throughout the month of October, starting Monday, October 11. All proceeds from the Bake Sale will go towards the TOTS-EAT program.
