Annual Thanksgiving Food Drive ‘Feeding the Community’ This month, Saint Andrew’s School will support non-profit efforts in Palm Beach County by donating items to ensure that those in need are able to enjoy a traditional Thanksgiving dinner. We encourage all to participate and support our friends at local charities such as Boca Helping Hands and the Youth Activity Center.
This year’s collection will take place November 7-18. As both a Round Square and an IB school in the Episcopal tradition, Saint Andrew’s is committed to being of service to others who are less fortunate. We ask that each student participate in this year’s drive in accordance with the list below. Please deliver your items to school no later than Friday, November 18. Drop-offs will take place in the Crangi Foyer just outside of the Mariani Great Hall.
