"PAWS on Hunger" Food Drive

This Friday... BSE Staff members will be out at the car rider line before school collecting food items for families in the Jacksonville community! Please support this cause! Duval County Public Schools’ Department of Community and Family Engagement in partnership with the Jacksonville Jaguars, Second Harvest of North Florida, Publix, Suddath and the Dalton Agency are encouraging parents to support their children in putting a “Paws on Hunger” with a food drive. 
 
                        
“Paws on Hunger!” Food drives help enable Second Harvest to provide food to the less fortunate families in our community who are struggling to put food on the table.  They are in need of healthy shelf-stable items that families can build well-rounded meals from.  Their suggested food drive menu items include:

• Canned fruit: fruit cocktail, sliced peaches
• Canned vegetables: corn, green beans
• Canned meats: tuna, beef, all others
• Canned beans: pork ‘n beans, black beans
• Canned soup: chicken noodle soup, vegetable soup
• Canned tomatoes and pasta sauce
• Grains: pasta, rice
• Breakfast cereals and granola bars
• Peanut butter and jelly (non-glass containers)
• Shelf-stable milk
