We have been asked to participate in the Catholic Charities Lenten Food Drive, which is a competition between various Catholic High Schools to see which school can bring in the greatest amount of non-perishable foods.  All food will then be donated to Assumption Parish in DC, where many families are in need of assistance.

We will collect food each morning at the top of the butterfly stairs until Friday, March 21st.  Needed items include peanut butter, tuna fish, beans (black, pinto, etc.) and pasta, in addition to any other non-perishable item you may have.
