The Center for Food Action (CFA) in Englewood is a very effective antidote to some of the pains of poverty in our area. In order to provide sufficient food to families in need during this holiday season, the CFA is reaching out to local communities and asking for food donations.

The Montessori House will collect food for the food drive from Monday, November 16, through Friday, November 20, 2009. We encourage all Montessori House families to participate in this worthy effort by donating any one of the food items from the list below. We will deliver the food to the CFA Friday afternoon on November 20. Please consider having your child assist you in your choice of food at the supermarket so s/he can better understand the purpose of this food drive.  A seed of giving, sewn in the heart of a child, cultivates a garden of kindness for years to come.

We thank you in advance for your donation. – – The Montessori House
