Support our Interactors in their food drive this Thursday, April 12 at our regular business meeting


City Academy Interact Club is running a Utah Food Bank food drive at the school for the last couple weeks of April.  They want to have it wrapped up by April 30.

They've asked our club to help support the food drive.

Because of our schedule this month, I don't see any other dates aside from this week's meeting to collect some food donations.

So, if you would like to support their food drive, please bring donations to this week's Business Meeting.  I will take any donations brought in and deliver them to the school.

Regarding donations, here is what the Utah Food Bank is asking for:
  • All natural ingredients
  • Low sodium
  • Low sugar
  • No high fructose corn syrup
Most needed food items:
  • Peanut Butter
  • Mac & Cheese
  • Canned Meats (tuna, chicken or beef)
  • Chili
  • SpaghettiOs/Ravioli
  • Canned Fruits
  • Other Boxed Meals
Thank you!

-Brian Rollo, Youth Service Chair
