Four local middle school girls helped organize a food drive that collected more than 900 cans for the Food Bank of Northeast Georgia. Tallulah Falls School seventh-graders Avery Keim of Clarkesville, Megan Prince of Rabun Gap, Caylin Tucker of Demorest and Gracey Eller of Clarkesville spearheaded the successful drive.
FBNG Warehouse Coordinator Philip Wilkes picked up the donations on November 19 at the end of TFS Spirit Week.
This is the second year these students have organized the canned food drive, according to TFS Middle School Director Carol Madden. “They were so excited to help people last year,” she says. “This year they were thrilled we more than doubled the number of cans collected.”
The food bank will distribute the cans to food insecure households throughout the region.
