Students Construct a Canned-Food Turkey and Help Feed Families in Need
The students of Grace Episcopal School helped feed Alexandria familes in need by creating a gigantic, canned-food “Bountiful Tom Turkey” on November 17th. Measuring 28 feet by 32 feet this turkey-shaped structure was entirely made of boxed and canned foods contributed by Grace Episcopal School families. This outreach project took four hours, with every child from Preschool through Grade Five helping with the construction.
Over 350 cans, jars and boxes of food were used in the construction. All of the food was donated to the Grace Episcopal Church Food Pantry, which works in conjunction with the Alexandria Department of Human Services.
