From Debbie Murphy, Kicking off our Annual Thanksgiving Food Drive

Published: 11/08/2022

Dear US Families,

As a community, we come together to give thanks and support our Englewood neighbors with our annual, three-divisional Thanksgiving Food Drive for the Center for Food Action. In the Upper School, this effort is spearheaded by our CODES (Community Outreach of Dwight-Englewood School) Club. They will be kicking this off on Monday November 7th. We are committed to contributing needed items and financial support to the Center for Food Action. You can donate online here

This year, the four grades in the Upper School will focus their attention to specific items:

  • Grade 9- Starch
    • Rice: white, brown, wild grain
  • Grade 10- Comfort Foods
    • Hearty Soups
    • Macaroni & cheese
  • Grade 11- Thanksgiving Menu:
    • Cranberry Sauce
    • Canned yams
    • Stuffing
    • Gravy
  • Grade 12- Baby Needs
    • Larger size diapers (4,5,6)
    • Baby wipes

Items, including supermarket gift cards and cash, will be collected in advisory locations. The last day for students and families to contribute to the Food Drive will be Friday November 18th. We look forward to supporting our local neighbors once again in the spirit of Thanksgiving!

Best,

Debbie Murphy, Director of Student Activities & Community Service
