Students in Foods Classes at Carver High School Collecting Food for Second Harvest Food Bank

At Carver High School, students in Shonticia Loftin’s Foods classes have started a campaign to collect food for the Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest North Carolina.

As part of the campaign, students visited neighborhoods around the school to let people in the community know about the campaign so that they could participate if they want.

“Each class had their own sections of the neighborhoods to visit,” Loftin said. “Many of the students took on leadership roles and self-designated themselves to be the speaker for the class. Other students were excited to visit the neighborhoods because they knew family and friends. We collected some donations but others requested that we return so they could have time to select items.

Later, students put together information packets and distributed them in neighborhoods.

The goal is to collect 200 items.
