Stuff-A-Truck in Westmont

The PRC Junior Board at Westmont High School is hosting a Stuff-A-Truck Food Drive within Westmont Community Unit School District 201. Now through Friday, February 16, students across the district are invited to bring healthy, nonperishable food to school for donation to PRC! A PRC truck will visit the schools on Friday, February 16 to pick up the donations and students will have a chance to stuff our truck with their donations!


Click here to see the types of foods requested for the drive. Thank you to our fabulous Junior Board for taking on this great project. Food Pantry visits are increasing, so a food drive like this is very important to keeping our shelves full for our visiting neighbors.
