Key Club Canned Food Drive
CCHS Key Club is excited to kick off our annual Canned Food Drive! We invite our students, families, and staff to help support our community by donating non-perishable food items. Please remember that we cannot accept ramen, baby food, or expired items. The last day to donate items is Friday, November 21.
All donations will directly benefit the White Christmas organization and the Grove City Food Pantry, helping local families in need during the holiday season.
Thank you for your generosity and commitment to supporting others.
