Meridian School District is hosting a districtwide food drive from Monday, Oct. 3 through Friday, Oct. 14 to support families in our community. Donation boxes will be available on all school buses, in school offices, the Meridian Family Support Center and at the District Office. Donation boxes will also be at the Meridian High School football game on Friday, Oct. 7. Our school buses will collect food from each school and then deliver it to the Meridian Family Support Center, Ferndale Food Bank and Project Hope in Lynden.
We are collecting nonperishable and unexpired foods such as canned soup, canned vegetables or fruit, pastas, canned beans, cereals, rice, flour, cooking oils and shelf-stable milk.
Families may also choose to donate funds to the Meridian Family Support Center. The family center uses funds to stock the family center with food and to provide general assistance to families who qualify. Cash or check donations can be brought to or mailed to the District Office at 214 W. Laurel Rd. Bellingham, WA 98226.
Thank you for helping to support families in our community!
