December Food Drive Results in Large Donation

Students and staff joined forces to gather much needed food for area families. For three weeks, food donations came in daily, resulting in a huge accumulation of food.

The winter season brings much need to the area, and FCTS works to teach students about community caring. This food drive was one of the various activities that took place in December.

After loading the van (above picture), food from the December food drive was brought to the Center for Self Reliance. Located in Greenfield, this food pantry exists to meet the needs of Franklin County people struggling in the difficult economy.

Center for Self Reliance staff greeted the Franklin County Technical School van when it arrived teaming with food. Dino, Martina and Eve assisted with the donation delivery.
