For the second year in a row, Invictus Prep Charter School in Brooklyn, New York, hosted a Thanksgiving food drive to help their neighbors in need.
From November 14 through November 18, students and faculty were encouraged to bring in non-perishable food items in an effort to help keep the shelves stocked at the local food bank this Thanksgiving season. When all was said and done, the Invictus Prep community had donated close to 350 pounds of food. That's the equivalent of nearly 300 meals, and more than 4x the amount of food they collected the previous year.
Special thanks goes out to A-1 First Class Moving & Storage, an agent of Atlas Van Lines, for donating their time and resources to help make this food drive a reality. In addition to providing boxes for the collection, A-1 First Class Moving & Storage's crew also volunteered to deliver all of the donations to Island Harvest.
Thank you to Invictus Prep Charter School and A-1 First Class Moving & Storage for lending a hand to the more than 515,000 people, including 1 in 5 children, in Kings County that are affected by food insecurity.
