Dear Parents and BHS Community Members,
 
First off a big thanks to the donors that have already offered something.  Your generosity is uplifting!  
 
The annual Holiday Meal will take place on Saturday, December 10.  This special event features over 100 BHS students serving a warming meal, offering clothing, books, shoes, toys, blankets and providing entertainment for some 300-500 homeless or low-income people and families in the Berkeley community.  
 
We are seeking fresh food or monetary donations to help us put on this special event.  Perhaps as you shop this week for Thanksgiving, consider buying some extra canned goods, a ham or turkey or potatoes/yams that you might be able donate.
 
What we are most in need of is pre-cooked hams or turkeys, potato or yam-based dishes, green salads or vegetable dishes, and canned/packaged foods such as tuna, soups or pastas.  Canned/packaged goods can be dropped off with your student at the barrels inside the main doors of the school, in the C-building gallery, or in the G-H 1st floor breezeway.  
 
Fresh food donations can be delivered between 4:30pm-7pm on Friday, December 9 or 8am-12pm of Saturday, December 10 to the main doors of the school at Milvia and Allston.  Please indicate what time you would like deliver your donation.  
 
Monetary donations are also a huge help will help us buy basics such as butter, sugar, flour, foil and other food to round out our meal.  They will also help us cover decorations and entertainment to make this not only a belly filling but heartwarming experience for those that attend.  
 
Monetary donations are accepted as cash in the Leadership Office (make sure it gets to Mr. Young) or as checks written to "BHS Student Activities" with "Holiday Meal" in the memo line.  These donations are tax deductible and a letter of receipt with the school tax ID number will be given upon request.  They can be mailed to:
 
Berkeley High School

Berkeley, CA  94704
 
Thank you,
Quan Tran, ASB Chief of Service and the BHS Student Leadership Team
