SHORELINE COUNCIL PTA FOOD AND GIFT DRIVE
Our food drive has ended, but the Holiday Baskets work isn’t over yet! Baskets will be assembled on Saturday morning at Kellogg Middle School (9-11am), and distributed Saturday afternoon. The event is really short on hand trucks and Saturday afternoon ADULT volunteers. If you have either a hand truck we can borrow and return and/or some time on Saturday to help out some families in our community we’d really appreciate it.

The link to volunteer Saturday afternoon is:
