The Jackson County School System will once again be hosting a Thanksgiving Food Drive to assist with families in need this holiday season. JCSS is accepting donations of the following items on Friday, Nov. 14 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. inside the Empower College and Career Center Gymnasium.  

Heroes Elementary is proud to partner with one of our third graders, Charleigh, and her family to bring joy to children receiving care at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta this holiday season. 

This special toy drive is held in honor of Charleigh’s cousin, Jeralee, who bravely fought leukemia and passed away five years ago, and in celebration of a dear family friend, Brentley, who courageously beat the same illness five years ago this December.

During our Holiday Meals on November 18, 19, and 20, we invite families to bring new, unwrapped toys or books to donate. All donations will be delivered to CHOA on December 15.

Together, we can help brighten the holidays for children and families spending this season in the hospital.
