Hello FCHS Boosters, Coaches, Directors and Club Leaders,
Thank you all for your interest in our Boxes of Love program. Boxes of Love started in 2008 through the Sawnee Woman’s Club to serve those Forsyth County families that were most in need of food. Initially we filled book bags full of snacks to help get the family through the weekend. The program soon grew to include additional foods. After the program came to an end through the woman’s club, Debbi Little and I saw a great need to continue the program at Forsyth Central. We have served up to 17 FCHS families every week with a full box of food and toiletries. Cumming First United Methodist also helps provide items every other week for our Boxes of Love. Our very own FCHS staff members volunteer to deliver the BOL each week to the student’s home.
Each team collects differently. Whatever logistics works best for your group is fine. Just please know that every item you donate is needed and every item will be used. Below you will find a list of recommend food. Please do not feel that you are limited to these items. I do ask that NO CANNED VEGETABLES nor family sized items be donated.
