Thanksgiving Bounty

Written by: Kate Snyder, Executive Assistant

Well, the Thanksgiving Bounty continued (and increased) last week. Here's a quick look at just a few of the donations that rolled in in time for Thanksgiving at EECM.

A group of students from the Falk School brought in the results of a pie-baking fundraiser: $500 and more than 100 pies. They got parents and other friends to "sponsor" the pies by paying for the production of a pie that would then be donated to the Food Pantry. What an awesome idea!


The 8th graders at St. Edmund's Academy came by with hundreds of grocery items, neatly organized into boxes of complete meals -- cornbread, green beans, etc. Just add turkey!


The Hunger Busters at the Western Pennsylvania School for Blind Children rounded up more than 150 pounds of spaghetti.


Club One made good on their promise of a frozen flock -- they brought in 60 frozen turkeys along with enough side-dish groceries to fill up four of our HUGE plastic tubs (we're talking hundred of pounds of food here).

Thanks to all for helping to make Thanksgiving a happy holiday for all of our clients!
