The National Junior Honors Society (NJHS) is currently holding the second project of the 2015-2016 school year: a food pantry. The Treasure Mountain NJHS president, Grace Wiczek, has answered questions regarding the procedure and benefits of the food pantry.
Who will the food pantry be helping?
GW: This food pantry will be helping those in need in our local community; Wasatch and Summit County. The food we are able to collect in the food drive will provide people with free food.
What is the objective of the pantry?
GW: The objective of this food drive is to be able to contribute healthy food to our local food pantry and to make a difference in our own community.
Where is the food going?
GW: The food is going to the Christian Center, here in Park City.
Where can students drop off food?
GW: Students can drop off the food in Ms. Hooker's room ( Rm.16), or Mr. Parker's room.
When is this happening?
GW: This is happening from now until February 26th.
Why is this important?
GW: This food drive is important because it gets NJHS, as a whole, more involved with our community, and gives students a chance to give back.
In your own opinion, why did NJHS choose this group activity over another?
GW: In my opinion, we chose this group activity over another because in some ways, it is a tradition to what NJHS at Treasure Mountain has done in the past, and it is very helpful to have this group activity after the holidays because it helps the food pantries "stalk-up" again. In addition, I feel that no matter where you are there is always a need for food, and at NJHS this is one area where we come together and make a big difference.
Please donate to the food pantry, regardless if you are in NJHS or not.
