This season, Friends of Kenwood Academy is proud to join the I'Marion Stewart Foundation to host a TURKEY & FOOD DRIVE at Kenwood Academy on SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 23 at 2:00 PM (until supplies last).
Starting Monday, November 17 until Friday, November 21, you may drop off any NON-PERISHABLE food donations at DOOR 6.
As an alternative to food donations, you may also contribute to our fund that will be used to purchase meal components to round out each meal's package. You may donate to this fund by clicking the button below.
This effort will require VOLUNTEERS! Volunteers are needed to help collect, prepare, and distribute the food.
VOLUNTEERS are especially needed on SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 23 from 9AM to 12NOON.
