Delmarva Christian Schools families donate 3,000 canned goods

Delmarva Christian Schools, a nondenominational Christian school system with campuses in Milton and Georgetown, worked with families to gather over 3,000 canned goods and nonperishable food items to benefit local food drives and charities.

All three programs in the Delmarva Christian school system worked together to promote, collect and deliver to local charities.

At the Milton campus, families in the Delmarva Christian Early Learning Center collected nonperishable food items to benefit Helping Hands Food Bank out of Bethel Tabernacle Church in Frankford.

Led by Milton Campus Parent Teacher Fellowship President Alaine Campbell, students in preschool through eighth grade collected enough items to feed 85 families through the Milton Community Food Pantry.

National Honor Society students at Delmarva Christian High School in Georgetown sponsored the school-wide food drive and turned it into a class competition. Almost 1,400 cans were brought to the Caroling on The Circle drop-off location at The Circle in Georgetown for the annual food drive to pack the pod. 

"Opportunities like supporting local food pantries are great ways to lead our students into servant-hearted relationships in our community," said Matt Kwiatkowski, DCS head of school. "It is a privilege to serve with Christ's love, and make an impact in the community who has always supported the mission of Delmarva Christian Schools."

The Delmarva Christian Schools mission is to proclaim the gospel by preparing students spiritually, academically and physically to know and do God's will in their lives.
