This week was just full of bad news. As you guys know, we have been planning to do a food drive since the beginning of this project. Our plan was to collect Thanksgiving food items at a few of the middle schools and at Davie and then donate them to either the Storehouse for Jesus or a different food bank. We have just received news that it is now too late to start any of this and our goal was unrealistic. So we are back to square one and are trying to think of ideas. We still want to keep the theme of giving back to the community and hopefully directing some type of drive. Our group has been discussing doing a hat and glove drive since the weather is getting colder and we want to provide families with something to help them stay warm. With this said, we need to be more efficient about getting in contact with sources that can help us set up donation sites. Makenna has been trying to contact her church and she is just waiting the approval from the pastor. We also want to have a donation sites in a few classrooms at Davie. On a happier note, we got our sock drive at North Davie successfully completed! Jenna and Sarah were able to bring the donation box to North and begin our first drive! We do not how many items we have actually collected because we have not gone to collect the box yet! There have been some doubts about this drive because we were not very prepared for it and we did not give anyone much notice so the profits from it will probably not be very good. However, we can use this a lesson to teach us that we need to people more aware of our plans and give them a longer notice. One last thing, We are planning on posting on Instagram soon, (whenever we get around to it) so if you want to keep up with our plans and updates, follow it!!! It is linked on our "How to get involved" page!!
