We Scare Hunger collects food for the Salvation Army

Residents might want to have a little more than just candy to give out to trick or treaters tomorrow night.

 

R.D. Parker teacher Amy Ricketts told us about "We Scare Hunger",  which students from the school's social justice group H-3 will be participating in.

 

"We Scare Hunger is an initiative through Free the Children where the H-3 students, instead of trick or treating for candy,  go around town and they trick or treat for non-perishable food items.   Those non-perishable food items are then donated to    the Salvation Army Food Bank in Thompson."

 

Ricketts also tells us what types of  items the students will be collecting.

 

"Whatever you would like to donate we accept.   Canned goods, boxed soups, tea bags, toiletries, jams, jellies, peanut butter.   Anything like that that is non-perishable."

 

Students collecting items for We Scare Hunger will have a card to indicate they are participating in the initiative.
