Students and families from across Dearborn Public Schools are again stepping up to Battle Against Hunger this November. The annual Battle Against Hunger food collection drive will run from Nov. 10 to 14 at several schools in the district. Last year the school community donated 7.8 tons of food.
Food donations gathered at the schools through Battle Against Hunger are given to Zaman International to distribute to the community. Monetary donations will go to the Amity Foundation. Donations can be made online at bit.ly/BattleAgainstHunger25.
Zaman is requesting that no food in glass jars be donated. The organization especially needs cereal.
Battle Against Hunger started in 2015 as a friendly off-field competition between rivals Dearborn and Fordson high schools. Edsel Ford High School joined the food drive later, and then it was opened for all the district’s other schools that were interested in participating. Now the event is a cooperative effort to help families in need.
Food donations will be collected at 20 locations, including Becker Elementary, Bryant Middle, Dearborn High, DuVall Elementary, Edsel Ford High, Fordson High, Haigh Elementary, Henry Ford Early College, Henry Ford Elementary, Howard Elementary, Lindbergh Elementary, Lowrey School, McCollough/Unis, McDonald Elementary, Nowlin Elementary, Oakman Elementary, Salina Elementary, Salina Intermediate, Smith Middle, and William Ford Elementary.
