APOLOGIES FOR INCONSISTENT DATES IN PAST MESSAGES.

Dear BHS Community,

I hope that you had a wonderful family- and food-filled Thanksgiving 
holiday!  The annual BHS Holiday Meal is rapidly approaching. . . less 
than 2 weeks to go and

WE NEED YOUR HELP!

The BHS Annual Holiday Meal is one of the largest service events put on 
by any high school in the East Bay. On /Saturday, December 12, 
2015,/ hundreds of Berkeley High students will 1) host and serve a warm 
meal; 2) offer clothing, blankets, toiletries and toys; and, 3) 
entertain 300 to 500 homeless or low-income people and families in the 
Berkeley community.

*Please consider contributing to our annual BHS Holiday Meal with a 
donation of money or food.*

We gladly welcome anything from packaged or fresh food to monetary 
donations that will help us buy ingredients to make our meal especially 
delicious! Your donation will be heavily appreciated in the hearts of 
the BHS and local homeless and hungry community. And, of course, your 
donation is tax deductible. *_Any extra Thanksgiving ingredients lying 
in your cabinets would make a great contribution to the meal._*

*Here are the details:*

*I.**Monetary Donations*

  Our goal is to collect $4,000 in order to support this event. Monetary 
donations 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 the 
cost of decorations and entertainment to make this not only a belly 
filling but heart-warming experience for those who attend.

Checks should be made out to “BHS Student Activities” with “Holiday 
Meal” in the memo line. Donations are tax deductible and a letter of 
receipt with the school tax ID # will be provided upon request.

Checks can be mailed to:
