TO CASADY YAC

Oklahoma is the 5th hungriest state in the nation – 1 out of 4 Oklahoma children are at risk of hunger every day. Seniors choose between buying medicine or food; families between gas, utilities, rent, or food.

1 can = 1 pound of food
$1= 5 meals/5 pounds of food
97 cents of every dollar feed the hungry

CASADY CANS DO 2010 STUCO AND YAC MEMBERS @ MIDDLE DIVISION

                                                                                           November 7th through November 11th

The Casady YAC (You-unite A Community) and our Student Council (STUCO) are collaborating with the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma to help the citywide collection goal of 650,000 pounds of food during the Students Against Hunger Food Drive 2011. The school collecting the most food per student receives the Students Against Hunger Traveling Trophy. Last year Casady collected 6,251 cans and $1,350.51. YAC and STUCO hope to beat those numbers this year.

In the Upper Division, STUCO is promoting an Olympics points competition between grades for most cans or money. YAC is promoting Saturday volunteering at the Food Bank http://www.regionalfoodbank.org/.

The cans and monetary donations will be collected and counted daily from Monday, November 7th through 11th. YAC will be ruffling donated gift certificates from local restaurants among Upper Division donors.  YAC has also requested the privilege to go first to the salad bar for the class with highest daily donations.

Our Middle Division is promoting house competitions.  YAC and STUCO students dressed as cans will be reminding the Lower and Primary Division to bring cans.  They will also be providing Students Against Hunger stickers to donors.  On Thursday, November 10th, the Primary will be bringing the food items to where the Food Bank trailer is so that the children can see where the food items are going.  They will be bringing wagons full of their donated food.  Pre-k will come up at 10:10 am and Kindergarten would come up at 1:30pm. If it rains, they would do the same on Friday.

Thank you for your contribution to fighting hunger, feeding hope and making a difference addressing a community need.

Most needed items: canned meat, meat-based soups, canned fruits, vegetables, and beans and monetary donations.  $200 feed a child for a year with a Food-4-Kids Program.  Food Bank's link to awareness videos:  http://www.youtube.com/regionalfoodbank#p/u/18/kKum7OBLC-I;  http://www.youtube.com/regionalfoodbank
