32 HIGH SCHOOLS … TWO FOOD BANKS … ONE GOAL

For the second year in a row, more than 30 Valley High Schools will participate in the National Student Food Drive. This year, the drive is a coordinated effort between St. Mary’s Food Bank Alliance and United Food Bank and the Sept. 27 kickoff event was a huge success. A packed Community Room was full of enthusiasm thanks to special guests Pat McReynolds of KPHO Channel 5 (emcee) and Howler, the Phoenix Coyotes mascot and with food from Sara Lee and Coca Cola and the announcement of prizes from KEZ (99.9 FM), US Airways and Harkins Theatres there was plenty of incentives – not to mention bragging rights and the John van Hengel Memorial Cup – on the line during the next month.
