🧡 Honkers for Humanity: Thankfulness in Action! 🦃

This November, our KPS students are putting thankfulness into action!

We’re collecting non-perishable food and holiday meal items for the Kenmare Food Pantry to help local families enjoy a warm Thanksgiving meal.

📦 Donation boxes are located at the front doors of the school by the auditorium and in elementary classrooms - drop off your items now through Wednesday, November 19th!

🛒 Suggested Donations:

🥫 Canned goods (vegetables, fruit, soup, gravy, cranberry sauce)
🍝 Boxed meals, pasta, rice, instant potatoes, or mac & cheese
🥧 Baking supplies (flour, sugar, oil, pie filling, cake mixes, frosting, butter, biscuit mix)
🍗 Heatable or frozen turkey dinners (we have freezer space for storage!)
🧃 Snacks, cereal, and shelf-stable pantry items
💳 Grocery store gift cards (for families to purchase fresh items)
🥘 Disposable aluminum pans (for families to cook or transport meals)

Every donation makes a difference — no matter how big or small. Let’s show what it means to be a Honker for Humanity and help every family in our community have a warm, thankful holiday. 💛

Elementary classrooms will have their own boxes, and the classroom with the most will receive a pizza party after Thanksgiving! 🍕

If anyone has extra boxes for us to use, that would be great! Thank you.
