Annual SGA Food Drive at WPS

12/10/2021

Berlin, MD – The annual Student Government Association (SGA) sponsored Food Drive at Worcester Preparatory School (WPS) started November 15 and on Thursday, December 9, 2021, the Upper School gathered to sort and divide canned goods and non-perishable food items that will be donated to several local organizations.

This year, WPS had a special kick-off to the annual event. In celebration of the school’s 50^th year, each homeroom set a goal to collect 50 can goods in three days. If the goal was met, that homeroom was allowed a dress down day, where students could wear red, white and blue instead of their traditional uniform. That Friday, all home rooms dressed down with every class achieving the goal.

Thanks to the SGA and all those who donated, nine local organizations in Maryland and Delaware will receive a large bundle of canned goods and non-perishable food items. In addition, students also donated $3 each to help buy meat products for holiday dinners. The following organizations will receive and distribute the food collected:

Diakonia, Inc. Ocean City, MD.
Atlantic United Methodist Church, Ocean City, MD.
The Joseph House, Salisbury, MD.
Stevenson United Methodist Church Spirit Kitchen, Berlin, MD.
The Seaford Community Food Closet, Seaford, DE.
Bethel Mariner Food Bank, Ocean View, DE.
Sonrise Church, Berlin, MD.
The Community Church at Ocean Pines, MD.
HALO, Salisbury, MD.

We wish all of you Happy Holidays and thank you for your continued support and generosity.
