Northfield, OH – September 3, 2024 – The Nordonia Hills City School District, along with Building Boosters of Nordonia Hills, Inc., will be hosting the 10th Annual “Fill the Bus” Campaign to benefit The Emergency Assistance Center (TEAC). We again humbly ask for the community’s support to help us “fill a bus” with non-perishable food items. The need is always there. Please consider participating in this very important food drive. Please bring unexpired, non-perishable food to donate.
You can also make monetary donations to support this event. Please visit the website www.teacenter.org if you would like for TEAC to buy what is most in need. All of our neighbors in need will benefit greatly from your generous donations.
We are celebrating the 10th year for this wonderful community supported event. The first collection in 2015 was a new idea. The initial event collected less than 1,000 pounds of food but planted the seed for the event we have now. In the last 9 years we have collected over 98,000 pounds of food for TEAC. In our 10th year we will surpass the 100,000 pound mark because of you “The Nordonia Hills Community” and your continued support. We are thankful and grateful!!!
You can drop off items at any one of the 6 district school buildings. Additionally the following businesses will host community “DROP OFF” Sites:
Nordonia Ministerial Association, Drayer Physical Therapy in Macedonia, The Goddard School in Macedonia, Kindercare in Macedonia, United Methodist Church in Macedonia, the Nordonia Hills branch of Akron Summit County Library, and Macedonia Parks & Recreation.
Students, staff and the community are asked to leave non-perishable food items in any of the collection bins in these locations. In 2023 this food drive collected 8,500 pounds of non-perishable food items from this event. Our goal this year is to collect over 12,000 pounds!
The collection will run from Monday, October 2, 2024 through Saturday, October 26, 2024, which is National Make a Difference Day for 2024.
