🍂 Help give back this Thanksgiving season! The K-Kids Club at Crooked River Elementary is hosting a food drive to support the citizens of Camden County. 🥫 From now until November 6, students are invited to bring non-perishable items to school and drop them in the designated boxes in their pod (ex: canned fruits and vegetables, boxed potatoes, pasta and stuffing). Let's come together as a community to make a difference and provide Thanksgiving baskets for those in need. 🍁 Together, we can make a positive difference in the lives of others. Thank you for your generosity and support! 🌟 #CRESfooddrive #ThanksgivingGiving #KKidsClub #CommunitySupport 🧡💫🦃
