ACHS FOOD DRIVE INFO & BOX SET CHECKLIST 2023

The Archbishop Carroll High School community has enjoyed a decades-long tradition and commitment to a Thanksgiving Food Drive. Students, parents, alumni, and like-minded friends take on an important annual, mission-driven operation — to combat hunger in our local community.

 

Each year, the Carroll community collects, sorts, and packs food to provide 300 Thanksgiving dinners — including a turkey, trimmings, and a week's worth of pantry supplies — to local families in need.  Through your generous efforts, the work of our students, faculty, and staff, and God’s grace, we have met our ambitious goal each year! 

 

There are three ways to help:

 

  1. Commit to assembling two boxes (one set) of food and pantry supplies for a family (see ACHS Food Drive Box Set Checklist below) and deliver the boxes to Archbishop Carroll High School. 
 

Drop-off times and hours are Mon-Fri, 9 AM-3 PM, and Saturdays (Nov 4, 11, and 18), 9 AM-2 PM.

 

2. Make a monetary donation to help us buy turkeys and other food and pantry items. Your kindness ensures our food drive's success. All donations are tax-deductible.  Click here to support our 2023 Food Drive: https://secure.givelively.org/donate/archbishop-carroll-high-school/annual-food-drive-34ecc29e-367a-4f42-915e-d8740c8151e8

 

To donate by check, send checks payable to Archbishop Carroll High School (Food Drive in the memo line of the check) to:

3. Show up for Alumni Collection and Volunteer Day on Saturday, November 18, 2023, from 9 AM – 2 PM. Bring your set of two boxes to drop off, or come up to help assemble/pack boxes of food anytime from 9 AM – 2 PM.
