Food Drive Results in Over 600 Pounds of Food for Kids First of the Carolinas

In conjunction with the Weddington Middle School’s annual fundraiser, BFF, students collected nonperishable food items to donate to Kids First of the Carolinas. Students were asked to turn in items for three school days; the collection was organized by Beta Club members. 

Baskets, Food and Fun (BFF) provides entertainment and social activity for the middle school students. But according to Sanna Tucker, parent of two middle school students, this is not enough. “A priority for me and my family is to provide food and shelter for those who need help. I wanted to offer an opportunity for our students to be able give back to the community and to reach out to unfortunate kids who don’t have everything our children have.” The students embraced this opportunity.
