2008 CEMC food drive enlists
student helpers
Area school children taught Cumberland Electric Membership
Corporation a thing or two about how to have a successful food drive
last year, which is, “Let us take the lead.” Good gracious, did they
ever lead! And did they ever succeed!
“We worked with three schools last year and the amount of food the
students donated was amazing. We quickly realized that we needed to
capitalize on our young members’ energy and enthusiasm, "says
Barbara Harper, CEMC member services manager.
Students in the schools listed below will collect non-perishable
food items throughout the month of October with the common theme of
“Helping our Communities.” “Each school will set a collection goal
for its students, and classrooms will compete within each grade
level for special recognition, "Harper says.
Food banks in each local community will receive the items in time
for holiday giving. “It’s great to see kids coming together to help
other people. They are really good at it!” says Harper.
