Project Harvest

Greetings Clerc Center Family! It is time for our Project Harvest food basket contribution drive. Project Harvest is a charitable organization in Washington DC that provides families in need with a Thanksgiving food basket. Gallaudet University, MSSD, and Kendall School will be participating in this event. Please let us know if you are able to make a contribution of money for the purchase of fresh turkeys, hams, fresh vegetables, and greens, bread, eggs, fruit, and deserts. Donations of canned food are also needed.

Have you seen the creative boxes made by our students yet? These boxes are located around the school to collect canned foods. Contributions of money may be made by checks payable to Project Harvest. Please seal the money in an envelope and then give it to Georgia Weaver, Beth Betman, or the School Social Work intern, Tajudeen Akinlotan. Any contributions given, would give these families a wonderful Thanksgiving meal!

Project Harvest is also a good opportunity for our students to become involved in an important community service. Students are being asked to volunteer their time to prepare posters and boxes as you can see. In addition, 8-10 students will be asked to go out into the community to participate in Project Harvest by bagging vegetables, sorting cans, and assembling food baskets. The baskets will be picked up by families who have requested a thanksgiving basket.

We hope you can help a family with a nice and nutritious family meal!

Thank You!
Georgia Weaver
