Ubuntu is an ancient African philosophy that roughly translates to "I am who I am because of who we are." This philosophy is at the heart of Poudre High School and the Feed Our Families tradition. Since 2008, this project has addressed food insecurity in our community. Historically, 40-50% of Poudre High School's student population has free/reduced lunch status. Also, about 10% of our students are either considered "unaccompanied youth" or students who may not have fixed permanent housing and qualify for our McKinney Vento program and resources. That's 1 in 10 students at PHS experiencing homelessness or insecurity related to shelter or food. As the holiday season quickly approaches, Poudre staff and students uphold the Ubuntu spirit by collecting as much food and monetary donations as possible to provide meals for our families in need. With your help, we can make this year our most successful one yet!
Distribution Day this year will be Saturday, December 13th
HOW TO GET INVOLVED
Sign-up for food collection shifts!
Sign-up for food collection shifts!
Donate your time and go "canning." This process is how we collect most of our non-perishable food. You can sign up for a 2 hour shift to collect food items. We have slips outside of the main office of PHS in English & Spanish that can be given to customers as they enter the grocery store. As they leave, you can collect food in a cart and drop it off at PHS on the following Monday from 8am-9am. If you collect money donations, please give them directly to a staff member.
