Give from the Heart

Got Extra Change in your Pocket ???

Give it to the National Honor Society of Bolingbrook High School's "Give From the Heart" program in February.  Beginning on Monday, Valentine's Day,  2/14/11 through 2/25/11, the NHS is planning a Cash/Coin Food Drive to benefit the Food Pantry, POWER CONNECTION.

Once all the donations have been collected, the NHS will purchase food from local grocery stores for distribution in POWER CONNECTION’S Monthly Food Pantry on March 14th & March 15th.  The students will also volunteer to help set up and distribute the food.   How great that they will be able to see the rewards of their work!
