Easy Mac Drive! Easy Mac Drive!

Meridian High School is calling on our community to help support a vital cause—the Backpack Program, sponsored by the Ministerial Alliance of Meridian. This program provides food to students who may not have reliable access to meals outside of school. To ensure our students have the nourishment they need, we are hosting a food drive specifically for Easy Mac cups.


Why Easy Mac? These single-serve, microwavable cups are perfect for students because they are easy to prepare, require minimal ingredients, and offer a warm, comforting meal. They are a staple in the food bags that go home with students each week.


We are asking students, families, and community members to bring donations of Easy Mac cups to [drop-off location] by [deadline date]. Every donation, no matter how small, makes a difference in the life of a student.


Let’s come together as a community to ensure no child goes hungry. Thank you for your kindness and generosity!


For more information or to make a monetary donation toward the Backpack Program, please contact Lizette Paceley at 817-841-9249.
