The annual Bensalem High School canned food drive was a huge success this year. More than 2,700 canned goods and other non-perishable items were donated, all of which go to families in the Bensalem community.
The district is giving special thanks to the English teachers who collected the donations, the Community Service Club members who helped pick up the items from the classrooms, the Marine Corps JROTC cadets who helped with the collection and moving of the cans, and MCJROTC Leadership Instructors Colonel John C. Church and Master Sergeant Shawn Worthen for their assistance.
Maggie Jordan’s seventh-period class collected the most items and won a pizza party.
Additionally, Snyder Middle School’s student council held a food drive in conjunction with the Bensalem Lions Club. Snyder students collected 581 items, which will be donated to local families in need.
