THANK YOU BERKELEY HIGH!

The Holiday Meal is a grand service event that invites the community 
into BHS for a heartwarming meal organized by students, staff, and other 
community members. During our first round of collecting donations last 
week, we received over $500 in donations as we move towards our goal of 
$4000 to cover all expenses of the Holiday Meal. See below for the 
various ways you can contribute to the meal!

Zoey H., Chief of Service, and her committee are organizing the Holiday 
Meal this year to prepare for this amazing event where 300-400 meals are 
served. There is a preparation and set-up shift on Friday, December 9th. 
The the actual meal will be served on Saturday, December 10th from 12:30 
pm - 3:00 pm. Our goal this year is to surpass 15,000 pounds of donated 
food and funds. Here is how you can help.

We are in the most need of canned goods, prepared food, and donations 
for the toiletry drive. Any extra Thanksgiving ingredients lying in your 
cabinets would make a great contribution to the meal. Please consider 
sending your student to school with a few cans to drop off at the bins 
located outside of the leadership office in the main building.
