🎓 Sequatchie County High School Homecoming Food Drive Supports Local Families

As homecoming week kicks off in Dunlap, Sequatchie County High School is channeling school spirit into direct community support. The annual food drive competition runs through October 16, turning student participation into donations that strengthen the county’s food security network.

📦 How the Competition Works

From Monday, October 12, through Friday, October 16, students bring canned goods to their homeroom teachers’ rooms. Each can donated counts as one homecoming point toward their class’s total-turning generosity into friendly competition. 🏆 The drive accepts a range of shelf-stable items including green peas, chicken soup, chili beans, oatmeal, fruit cocktail, and sweet corn.

❤️ Community Impact

All donations benefit the Sequatchie County Fellowship of Churches and Food Bank in Dunlap, a vital resource for families across the county facing food insecurity. By combining homecoming spirit with charitable action, the school demonstrates how student involvement can directly meet local needs. The food bank relies on community contributions like these to stock shelves and serve residents year-round.

🎯 What Students and Families Should Know

Participation is simple: bring canned goods to your homeroom teacher during the five-day drive window. There’s no minimum or maximum-every can counts. For families looking to contribute, the drive offers a straightforward way to support neighbors while celebrating school traditions.
