As we enter into this season of thanks, one of the ways that Mercy High School expresses gratitude is by giving back to the community. For decades we have been an important partner to Focus: HOPE in their efforts to serve the poor and the elderly in the Metro Detroit area. In previous years, we have filled at least half of a semi-tractor-trailer with food collected by our students! Focus: HOPE provides assistance to roughly 41,000 low income seniors every year through monthly food assistance, health screenings and so much more.
Your daughter has signed up for some select food items with the expectation that she bring these items and $5 donation for perishable food. To meet our school goal, we highly encourage students to bring in above and beyond what they have signed up for, yet we understand that this may not be possible for all Mercy families.
Students may bring in their food donations this week and there are several fun incentives! If your daughter brings in what she signed-up for on the first turn-in day (Monday, 11/16 for KC and Tuesday, 11/17 for SF), she will receive 2 service hours toward her graduation requirement.
Mercy High school is proud to be one of Focus: HOPE's largest and most influential donors. We thank you in advance for helping us make this a successful food drive!
Yours in Mercy,
Campus Minister
