FOOD COLLECTION AT SCHOOL

Renaissance Operation Happiness






Renaissance is again helping Operation Happiness this year. We encourage you to donate non-perishable food items. These will be collected at the classrooms. All the food gets sorted out and then we drive over and donate it to Operation Happiness. Team Renaissance has been helping our community donate to Operation Happiness for a many years. If we reach 1,000 items collected, we will have a school wide popcorn party!

Donations will be accepted November 28th-December 8th

Thank You!
