East Ridge Food Drive - November 10th-26th 2025
Many local families rely on vital SNAP food benefits, and your support can make a difference. From November 10–26, the East Ridge PTA and Girl Scouts are collecting non-perishable food and essential household items for our community.
Donation bins will be located in all grade-level foyers and by the office.
Volunteers will also collect donations at car pick-up and drop-off during the week of November 17–21.
Any non-perishable food items can be accepted. High need items include:
Food Items
- Canned meat (tuna, chicken, etc)
