Elementary schools collect canned food for Helping Hands

Local Rockwall County elementary schools are collecting canned food for the Helping Hands Food Pantry as part of “Student Serving Others” Day.

Each elementary campus is holding a canned food drive leading up to SSO day:

  • All collected food will go to Helping Hands.
  • A student team (determined at your campus) will design and build a Canned Food Art project
  • School teams will practice building their project at the school before SSO day
  • Schools must have canned foods boxed and labeled with school name to be picked up by maintenance to transport to the stadium by Thursday, March 22
  •  School teams will be at the stadium and build their Canned Food Art from 9 to 9:30 on SSO day
  • Canned Food Art Projects will be judged at 9:45.
  • A school representative(s) needs to be present at noon to load your school’s canned food on to the Helping Hands truck.
