SGA Leads the Way in Charitable Food Drive
Citrus County Blessings has one goal -"To conquer student hunger within Citrus County." For the Thanksgiving season, Seven Rivers Christian School made it their goal to partner with Citrus County Blessings.
In November, the Student Government Association (SGA) sponsored a canned food drive with the goal of collecting 1,500 donations for Citrus County Blessings. These cans will help fight against child hunger during weekends and breaks from school. SGA asked every student to bring 3 to 5 canned food items. Between the upper school's donations over the month and the grammar school's Harvest Samba celebration, we exceeded our goal! In total, 1,766 canned foods and other donations were collected.
Thanks to the effort and contributions of the entire student body, Seven Rivers made an impact this Thanksgiving. We were reminded of all we should be thankful for. Citrus County Blessings helps 3,000 students from over thirty schools, as well as homeschoolers. Run by volunteers, Blessings works hard to make a difference. This month, Seven Rivers Christian School helped them succeed in their mission.
