Hello Clarendon Families,
Our Clarendon Annual Holiday Food Drive is on! From now until Friday December 12th, let's come together to support the San Francisco-Marin Food Bank and help end hunger right here in our city. Food insecurity is an ongoing problem in our community. The SF Marin Foodbank estimates that approximately 55,000 families per week rely on their organization for food! As the holidays are fast approaching, we can reflect on how fortunate so many of us are and we can share with those who are less fortunate. Every $1.00 provides two healthy meals for families in need.
There are multiple ways that you can help:
Donate online (Preferred): through our official SF–Marin Food Bank page: SF-Marin Food Bank: Clarendon .Prefer a check? Make it payable to “SF–Marin Food Bank” and write “Clarendon Elementary” in the memo line. Mail to: SF–Marin Food Bank
Attn: Food and Fund Drives
P.O. Box 7203
San Francisco, CA 94120
Want to donate food instead? Bring your donation of non-perishable foods to the food bins in the hallway at school. Please note that our school is only collecting canned goods. The most needed foods are:
tuna & other canned meat
nut butters
low sodium canned soups, chilis, and stews
canned beans
canned fruits and vegetables
Last year, our food drive put a dent in ending hunger — let’s go even bigger this year with online donations and other acts of generosity. We will continue to donate the items to the Food Bank as the bin fills. Please give what you can! Our Food Drive will end on December 12th. Please note that our school is only collecting CANNED items. For more information about SF Marin Food Bank, their mission, or to sign up to volunteer, please see their website: https://www.sfmfoodbank.org/
Together, let us show what the Clarendon Community can do. Let us fight hunger — and spread hope — this holiday season!
With gratitude and holiday spirit,
The Food Drive Parent Volunteers
