It's game on for a great cause! D140 middle schools are competing against each other to see which school can bring in the most non-perishable food items for the Tinley Park Food Pantry. Students are encouraged to bring in donations between February 3 - 7.
All students who donate food earn one raffle ticket per item. If your food donations match the following theme days, you will be given two raffle tickets per item! Those raffle tickets earn you the chance to win gift cards!
