Want to do something to help families in need right here in Charleston? The CHS Tri-M Music Honor Society Students are sponsoring a meal kit food drive to assist families currently facing food insecurity. Each meal kit contains a recipe card and all of the items needed to cook an easy meal for a family of 4-6 using shelf stable food items. To get involved with this project, swing by the "Friendsgiving Tree" located outside the Auditorium and grab a leaf off the tree with a shopping list for a meal kit. Purchase the items on the shopping list and return them in a bag to the choir room with the shopping list card by Monday, November 10 to the Choir Room for our Tri-M members to organize for distribution. We would like to have these meal kits available by next week. Thank you for showing love and kindness through sharing a meal with your neighbors.
