About:
The Kiwanis Kids club at Bowling Green Elementary School in the East Meadow School District held a Thanksgiving food drive from Nov. 1-16 that yielded roughly 1,100 pounds of donations for families in the community.
Bowling Green staff and students were encouraged to donate canned goods and nonperishable items such as canned corn, beans, rice, pasta and soup. Each week during the drive, the Kiwanis Kids members collected the donated goods from each classroom.
On Nov. 17, the Kiwanis Kids board members gathered to sort through the donations and prepared boxes for local families to celebrate the holiday.
