The Thanksgiving food drive hosted by Sources of Strength the week before Thanksgiving break successfully collected food and monetary donations for students in need.

Food donations went to stock the Orbit’s shelves while monetary funds were used to purchase Thanksgiving meals for families who otherwise could not afford them.  First mod students and teachers competed for the most donations in hopes for a spectacular yet unknown prize announced via Rocket News.

“The Orbit is great for Neenah, not only in providing clothes and school materials to those who struggle purchasing those items for themselves but also in what is stands for as a representation that we care about helping everyone as a community,” senior Blake Emerich said.

Donation competition victors won a prize titled “Pastries with Pups,” which includes a morning of donuts and other sweet treats spent with cuddly therapy dogs.
