Holiday Season of Sharing

Rockford #205 - Dr. Ehren Jarrett Students at King Elementary in the Rockford 205 School District challenged superintendent Dr. Ehren Jarrett to match their food drive efforts.

Sandwich CUSD #430—Rick Schmitt Superintendent of Schools and Sandwich Lions Club member Rick Schmitt leads the students, staff and administration as they work together to distribute approximately 8000 pounds of non-perishable food, plus gift certificates to purchase additional items at a local grocery store to needy families each year. Each year, the Franklin Mall food drive project has reached out to 150 families during the holiday season. Schmitt said, “This is a true community event with members of our learning community working beside Lions members at each step of the process. Multiple hands and a spirit of community service are what helps make for a better holiday season for those in need.”
