Holiday Community Service Opportunities
LET THE HOLIDAY SEASON OF GIVING BEGIN!
Holiday Cards to Nursing Homes:
Nursing home residents could use some cheer this holiday season! Please consider sending cards to one (or all) of the following nursing homes. When sending the cards, it is not necessary to put the cards in individual envelopes. You can mail multiple cards in one larger envelope. You can earn 1 hour of community service for every 8 cards sent to residents at the following nursing homes or another nursing home of your choice:

To earn credit, please complete the community service form for holiday card writing and have your parent or guardian sign as supervisor. Return completed forms to Camilla Rogers.
Food Drive:
Our community is in need of food donations and it is especially important for families to be able to feed their family during the holidays. While all non-perishable foods are appreciated, ACTS indicated that they were in need of the following items: canned corn, canned beans (pinto, black, navy, or black eyed peas), any type of canned greens (turnip, mustard, collards, or spinach), canned sweet peas, tomato soup, and cans of any sort of Chef Boyardee type of pasta.
Earn 1 hour of community service for every 10 packages (cans, boxes, or containers) of food sent to our food drive. There will be community service forms available at the food drive drop off as well as online: community service form for food donations. Please complete and submit to Camilla Rogers.
Angel Tree:
Gifting is not just for our children but for the children in our community as well! KVA is encouraging students and families to donate Christmas gifts to the children on our Angel Tree. Students can earn 2 hours for each sponsored angel to include the time spent shopping and preparing the gift(s). Please complete the community service form - angel tree donations and have your parent sign as supervisor or see Mrs. Rogers when you deliver your gifts for credit.
