Students from the Mountlake Terrace High School drama department delivered 593 donated items to the Concern for Neighbors Food Bank in Mountlake Terrace this week as part of a nationwide food drive by high school theater programs.
The MTHS drama department is one of more than 440 high school theater groups that are taking part in the “Trick or Treat So Kids Can Eat” food drive, spearheaded by the International Thespian Society. The drive began last week and culminates on Friday, Nov. 6.
Kyle Henderson has been one of the MTHS students manning various posts at Mountlake Terrace grocery stores soliciting food donations for the drive. “It’s good for the community and it helps people in need,” Henderson said. “I know what it feels like to be in need. I felt helpless and the resources like this made a big difference.”
MTHS drama department students will cap off the drive by collecting non-perishable food donations at the Mountlake Terrace QFC, 22803-44th Ave. W., on Friday from 4-6 p.m.
Concern For neighbors Food bank thanks the students of Mountlake Terrace High School Drama department for all their hard work during “Trick or Treat So Kids Can Eat†food drive. At this time the food bank food supply is at its lowest point in years and is ramping up for the Thanksgiving and Christmas season.
