End of Year Celebration

Cans for Kids held an end-of-year celebration on May 20th, 2022 to celebrate the past year's activities. We went over the events of the year and discussed plans for the following school year. We also gave out awards and recognitions to volunteers showing exceptional dedication and commitment, along with announcing the leadership team for the 2022-2023 school year. Special thanks to Mr. Rochester and Ms. Brooks for coming!

April 2nd Spring Food Drive

On April 2nd, Cans for Kids hosted a food drive to assist in the Ardrey Kell Hunger Drive effort. We were able to collect over 300 pounds of donations, and all of these were delivered to the boxes at the front entrance to contribute to the hunger drive.

Ardrey Kell Campus Cleanup on February 25th

On February 25th, Cans for Kids initiated a campus-wide clean up event to pick up trash and litter throughout the Ardrey Kell campus. We were able to clean up the parking lots and the roadside, and the difference is apparent. Thank you to all the volunteers who helped us make the school a cleaner and nicer place for all!

Cans for Kids January Event

On January 20th, Cans for Kids donated 263 pounds of food to the Community House Middle School (CHMS) in order to support their new food pantry by working with Ballantyne Helping Neighbors in Need. This pantry was designed to bring aid to those in CHMS and their families who are in need of food. The food was collected over the course of 2 months and sorted by a group of volunteers before being brought to the pantry.

Southwest Middle School Donation

This November's volunteer event ended in great success. After we sorted books in the Ardrey Kell parking lot, our 12 volunteers helped unload the books at Southwest Middle School. Over 200 books were contributed to the Southwest Middle School library.
