Holiday Food Drive


  • Whiting Community School 606 West Street Whiting, IA, 51063 United States (map)

NHS, Student Council, and FCCLA members are hosting a Holiday Food Drive to put together baskets for families in need in our community.  The items below we are asking families to donate by grade so that we have enough of each item for the baskets. Any monetary donations are accepted and appreciated to go toward a turkey for each basket that we will purchase as well.

Please bring your food items from December 9 through December 13 and drop off in the donation boxes in the lobby.

  • Kindergarten-  Marshmallows

  • 1st Grade-  Pumpkin or any fruit pie filling
