The recent Jonathan Law food drive was a way to not only donate canned foods to people in need but to bring the community together. The National Honor Society and Key Club worked with the local Boy Scouts in order to put on this event. Advocate News Editor Alexis Broderick interviewed senior National Honor Society member Morgan Taylor about the drive.

Alexis Broderick: When was the food drive? 

Morgan Taylor: The food drive was the week of November 11th through 15th. We collected canned goods in the main lobby each morning and at the end of the week, packaged them up to give to the Boy Scouts.

AB: Where was the canned food going? 

MT: The food is going to local families who need it. The holiday time can be a true struggle for these families so we are trying to do everything we can to help them out.

AB: Who organized the food drive? 

MT: The NHS and Key Club organized this food drive.

AB: Was there a reward for people, if they donated canned food? 

MT: Each canned good was worth one ticket. At the end of the week we held a raffle in which 1st prize for students received a $25 gift card to Lasse’s Restaurant, 2nd prize won a $10 gift card to Scratch Bakery and a $10 gift card to Café Atlantique. 1st prize for faculty was a $25 gift card to Stonebridge. Many teachers also offered extra points for their students who brought in cans.

AB:  Now that the food drive is completed, how do you think it went overall? 

MT: I am super happy with the turnout from the food drive! We were able to donate so much and help a lot of families!
