Food Drive Success

The student council members at St. Philomena School recently conducted their annual two-week food drive to benefit New Hope Apartments, a program offered by Phoenix Community Development Services. The council’s goal for this year was 5,000 items. At the end of the drive, 10,196 food and toiletry items were collected.

On Wed., Nov. 20, 7th and 8th grade students helped load the items in seven vans, trucks and SUVs. Once the vehicles were packed full, 17 Student Council representatives and parent volunteers delivered the items to the food bank at New Hope Apartments. New Hope Apartments serves the area’s homeless population by providing supportive housing for homeless veterans, individuals and families. A majority of the residents are afflicted with a physical or learning disability or mental illness.

Please continue to keep them all in your prayers. We are all so grateful for your support!
