The Great Bobcat Giveback

Reverse Halloween-Themed Advent Calendar to Benefit the Oliver Springs Community Ministry Food Pantry

Hunger is scary. That’s why the Oliver Springs High School Student Council is holding the Great Bobcat Giveback: a food drive for the Oliver Springs Community Ministry Food Pantry. It follows an advent calendar format, but with a twist. Instead of it being a treat for you, it's giving back for those in need, and, instead of Christmas, it counts down to Halloween. Bring an item each day (along with your extra plastic grocery bags) to school and drop it off either in Mrs. Robbins’ room or in your class’ corresponding Spooky Giveback Box in the lobby.
