Athena Shoe Drive Drop Off Tomorrow 4/17

We did things a little differently this year, and our members, colleagues, and GTA Alumni came through in a big way for the Greece Ecumenical Food Shelf. We asked for monetary donations in lieu of food if possible, and we’re proud to report that the GTA 2021 Stuff-a-Bus Food Drive netted 1,272 lbs. of food and $3,706. Thank you everyone!

Due to COVID-19, we are modifying our traditional food drive this year. This will be a STAFF/ADULT ONLY effort- we will not be asking students for support. Please donate here, and we will also be picking up food donations at schools on Feb. 12. See your building rep for the collection spot.

This brings us over 117,000 lbs. since we started in 2006. That’s the weight of about 61.5 fully-loaded 1982 Chevy Chevettes. This was a 700 lb increase compared to 2019. Also, some schools used their donations for their own in-school food shelf, so the totals were actually a little higher.
We have total numbers by school going back to 2010, Arcadia’s 2,458 was the 3rd most ever (behind ARHS 3,215 in 2010 and ARHS 2,954 in 2017).
Today we honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Today’s federal holiday is designated as a national day of service to encourage all Americans to volunteer to improve their communities.
