BENSON FOOD DRIVE! - Final Details coming Soon!
We’re organizing a neighborhood-wide food collection to support Benson families in need. Starting Sunday, November 2st, bring your non-perishable donations to any of the participating drop off sites. Huge thank you to all of the below Benson businesses and community partners for stepping up to create a more direct resource for families right here in Benson (look for the flyer signifying each drop off site!)
Please ensure all donations are not expired and do not need to be refrigerated.
We have also set up a monetary fund, which will be matched up to $5000 thanks to some very generous community members-- Donations will go toward grocery store gift cards for families at Benson High School, Monroe Middle School, Rose Hill Elementary, Benson West Elementary, Fontenelle Elementary, and Montessori Co-op.
