Student Council News
It's time for the annual OHMS Fall food Drive! Every year, Student Council asks Mustangs to help our local community by raising money for the Central Texas Food Bank. Each ACES is challenged to raise $20 at school, and we also have our own fundraising page. All money raised goes to local families during the holiday season. Let's show them how much our Mustangs care!
We are starting this week and running our initiative through December 6th.
Help us show how much O. Henry cares!
Hunger affects people from all walks of life. Working families, retired seniors on fixed incomes, grandparents with custody of grandchildren, the chronically ill and the disabled all turn to the Food Bank for help in emergencies or as part of their regular meal planning.
Nearly 437,000 people in the 21 counties we serve faced hunger last year. Inflation and higher costs of living have driven a sustained increase in the demand for our services.
With hunger impacting 1 in 7 Central Texans and higher rates in some groups we all know someone who is going through this or who has gone through this.
The amazing thing is that even though hunger is a large and complex issue, our community is also large, and full of understanding and generosity. It takes our entire community coming together to ensure all our neighbors have food on the table.
A donation of $10 covers the groceries provided to a neighbor facing hunger at a Food Bank distribution. Every little bit counts.
