Just a reminder that our Fall into Giving Food Drive competition starts this Monday, 11/9!

We're excited to announce that we are adding a crucial new goal to our collection efforts: providing weekend food bags for PS 124 families who have reached out for assistance.

🎯 Where Your Donations Go

The food you collect will now support three vital community efforts:

• Maintaining our regular weekly commitment to CHiPS.
• Stocking the shelves for our new 107 food pantry.
• Providing the requested weekend food bags for PS 124 families.

🎒 CHiPS Weekly Collection & Competition Credit
