About:
Norwood Avenue Elementary School students and their families participated in the school’s Annual Winter Food Drive from Jan. 9-13. Sponsored by the Norwood Avenue PTA, the school community donated 130 pounds of food to the Ecumenical Food Pantry at the First Presbyterian Church in Northport.
Led by Norwood PTA Food Drive Chairperson Annette Garcia, students were invited to take part in the drive by donating nonperishable food items to those in need throughout the week and place them on a table in the school’s main hallway. The PTA has held the Annual Winter Food Drive for more than 10 years in an effort to empower students to lend a hand to those less fortunate. A similar food drive will take place in the spring.
