					<description><![CDATA[Welcome parents, teachers and students to the 6th year of the Caring for Our Community food drive. This is the time of year when your Local Marketplace stores team up with Wilkes County schools to raise food for the less fortunate. In this combined effort we will be able to help feed our neighbors in need here in our own community this holiday season. The food drive officially starts from November 1st, 2024, and last until December 31. We will finish the food drive at your school on December 17, so it doesn't interfere with your Christmas holidays. You can still donate food through December 31 at your local Marketplace location 

We ask that you bring non-perishable food and place it in the food donation boxes in your schools. Please only bring canned goods and boxed food. In addition, monetary donations will be accepted, each dollar representing 2 pounds of food. Please no glass items. You can bring canned drinks or plastic items such as juices. The food raised will go to the Blue Ridge Opportunity Commission and stay in our local community. There will be prizes awarded to the class in each school that raises the most food. We look forward to another successful meal in the year and want to thank you in advance for everything you do. 

"Together we can achieve anything."]]></description>
