Hoban Can Food Drive
40,000 cans is the goal this year- a pretty ambitious number for a bunch of teenagers whom many would label as self absorbed and indifferent towards the plight of the poor, right? Well- to date, our kids have brought in almost 35,000 with one more weekend to go- an impressive number considering the fact that we only have about 900 kids in the building. Each year, friendly class competitions have served as the needed motivation to fill the central hallway with food for neighboring soup kitchens and hunger centers.

The kids produced an extremely entertaining video to kick off this service project, and so far, the response has been incredible. As an added incentive, students who brought in 5 cans this morning were permitted to wear OSU or Michigan game day jerseys/ t-shirts to school. (Why anyone would want to wear the Wolverine blue and gold is beyond my comprehension) Pictured here is a portion of this morning's collection of food.
