OCTOBER FOOD DRIVE!

BHES is participating in Manna Food Center's Kids Helping Kids (KHK) campaign in October. KHK mobilizes Montgomery County schools to raise food and funds for their hungry peers across the county. Participation in this program teaches children valuable lessons about hunger, engages them in giving, and shows them that they have the power to make a difference in their community. 

BHES is having both an in-kind food drive from October 1-17 as well as a virtual food drive during the entire month of October.

Virtual food drive - Please visit our school page to make online donations: https://secure.qgiv.com/event/khk22/team/907818/

Please share this page with anyone you think may want to support our cause.

In-kind donations can be dropped off at Manna collection boxes located in the front foyer of BHES or at the entrance of 5708 Glenwood Road. 

To volunteer for this effort and for more information, contact Veronica Velez-Burgess vvelezburgess@yahoo.com. Thank you for joining this county-wide effort to fight hunger!
