To help those less fortunate in our community, the GHS Roots & Shoots Club, GHS Neighbor to Neighbor Club, and GHS Assistant Deans, have set a goal to raise $10,000 to provide Thanksgiving meals to over 100 families in our Greenwich community.
Through the school’s continued partnership with the Greenwich Social Services Holiday Aide program, this year’s 10th annual Thanksgiving Food Drive will be a virtual event and will run from October 30 through November 15.
Please consider making a monetary donation by clicking this link to our MYSCHOOLBUCKS online fundraising site.
If you are looking to make a monetary donation that is not online and would like a letter of contribution, please make checks available to the “Greenwich High School” and in the memo line, please write “Thanksgiving Fundraiser.”
Checks can be delivered to Ms. Foster in Student Activities. Student Activities can also accept credit cards for donations.
Please note: Non-perishable items CANNOT be accepted at GHS this year due to COVID-19 restrictions. Looking to donate items?
