FAQ-
Can a student bring another grade assigned item and have it still count for their grade?

Does it have to be the Easy Mac?
YES- In order to fit all the items in a single, quart sized bag, it must be the Easy Mac (no cups, no boxes).
Can I donate money and have it counted toward the contest?
YES- Each dollar donated will count as 1 item.
Can I still donate after the last day?
YES- The food drive officially ends on the 6th of February. However, student council will not be assembling the packs until the 20th.
Thank you for your support! Go Cougars!
