MESA Annual Food Drive Brings in Their 2nd largest Donation

This year’s Mansfield Elementary School Association (MESA) Food Drive to support the Pantry was truly something special.

Each and every can, box, and bag donated are more and more meaningful as the cost of living continues to rise and social service supports decrease. It’s amazing to see how, when we come together, small acts of kindness can add up to something so impactful.

A huge thank-you to everyone who donated - kindergartners through the 5th graders and their families - whether they brought in a single item or a full grocery bag, it all made a difference. We are grateful for the wonderful teachers and staff of our school district who helped spread the word, sent out reminders, and brought in donations themselves. And of course, a special shout-out to the many volunteers who donated their time and efforts to making this annual food drive such a success.

The school community's student helpers and volunteers!
