The Bethlehem Central School District is inviting the community to join in the annual Caring and Sharing Food Drive with an easy Drive-Up Drop-Off collection of food on Wednesday, December 14 from 9 a.m. to 12 noon. Every year, ahead of the holiday break, district families and local businesses donate to Caring and Sharing. The effort provides boxes of food and grocery gift cards to families right here in the BC community. We will also be collecting toys and coats on behalf of several student-run clubs at the high school collecting these items for community organizations in the Capital Region. Please join us during the season of giving in helping our neighbors and our friends!
