ANNUAL CARROLL THANKSGIVING FOOD DRIVE 

INFORMATION & CHECKLIST



It’s that time… As you know, hunger continues to be a significant challenge facing our community, affecting the most vulnerable. Once again, the Archbishop Carroll community will embark on our Annual Carroll Thanksgiving Food Drive tradition to help do our part to combat this issue.


With your generous efforts, we aim to collect, pack, and distribute at least 250 Thanksgiving meals and a few additional pantry items to local families in need this year.


Here’s how you can help…


  1. Commit to donating one complete box of food and pantry supplies for a family (see ACHS Thanksgiving Food Drive Checklist below) and deliver the box to Archbishop Carroll High School.

Drop-off times and hours

Monday through Friday - 9 AM to 3 PM in the Main Office 

Saturdays (October 19 & 26 and November 2, 9, & 16) - 9 AM to 2 PM


Saturday, November 16th - Alumni Service Day, 9 am to 2 pm 

 


  1. Make a monetary donation to help purchase food and pantry items. One complete box (including turkey) costs $150.00 to feed one family. All donations are tax-deductible.
