MOUNT VERNON – Knox County High Schools launched their Food For The Hungry collections on Tuesday, Nov. 29.
Participating schools include Centerburg, East Knox, Danville, Mount Vernon, Fredericktown, and Knox County Career Center. Each high school is getting creative in collecting food and funds for FFTH. The high school that collects the most will receive a winner’s plaque embellished with their name. Some schools are holding special assemblies for their students or donating admissions to sports games to FFTH collection.
The official start date for all high school drives was Nov. 29. Each school has a different end date for its collection:
- Fredericktown High School: Dec. 2
- Danville High School: Dec. 6
- Mount Vernon High School: Dec. 7
- Centerburg High School: Dec. 8
- Knox County Career Center: Dec. 8.
All donations made within each school will stay within the local community. The school collections are always a significant contribution to the FFTH goal, signifying the age of someone does not limit generosity.
