Schools collecting
items for area food pantries
Once again, Cumberland Electric
Membership Corporation will be
partnering with elementary schools in a
month-long food drive to benefit area
food banks. All of the food collected
will be distributed in time for the
coming holiday season.
Like last year,
non-perishable food items will be
collected by school children who will
compete for prizes to be awarded by
CEMC. Each participating school will set
a collection goal for its classrooms,
and the competition will be between
classrooms in each grade level. The food
drive will run from Oct. 1 through Oct.
28.
Participating
schools in each county are:
Cheatham
County: Pleasant View
Elementary and Ashland City Elementary
Montgomery
County: Cumberland Heights
Elementary and Sango Elementary
Robertson
County: Coopertown Elementary
and East Robertson Elementary. CEMC
i s
working with the Robertson County
Sheriff’s Office to coordinate
distribution of collected food.
Stewart
County: Dover Elementary and
North Stewart Elementary
Sumner
County: Clyde Riggs Elementary
and J.W. Wiseman Elementary
In addition to the
individual food drives going on in the
schools, CEMC business offices will be
conducting their own food drives during
October. CEMC employees will collect all
the food donations at the end of the
month and deliver them to the food
pantries in each community which are
responsible for distribution to
individuals and families.
