ST. MARY’S AND UNITED FOOD BANKS SEEK HIGH SCHOOLS TO JOIN THE 2011 NATIONAL STUDENT FOOD DRIVE AND COMPETE FOR JOHN VAN HENGEL CUP

Winning Schools And Top Individuals Donors Can Win US Airways Travel Vouchers And A 250-seat Harkins Theatre For School Fund-Raising Event
The fifth annual National Student Food Drive kicks off in October, with high schools from around the Valley looking to dethrone... the four-time champions from Glendale Mountain Ridge High School and claim the coveted John van Hengel Memorial Cup for collecting the most food and cash donations.

There is still time for clubs, service organizations, student governments, or even a single homeroom, to represent their school and take on the challenge of helping to feed the hungry in Arizona. Collecting food and donations at a Friday night football game, afternoon pep rally, weekend car wash or class-against-class competition are just some of the ways to get the whole school and parent involved.
