Grace Episcopal School repeated its successful collaboration to collect food items to benefit those who are in need. Its students helped feed the hungry in Alexandria by creating a canned-food “Bountiful Tom Turkey” on Nov. 18. Measuring 30 feet by 32 feet this turkey-shaped structure was made of boxed and canned foods donated by Grace Episcopal School students and their families. This service learning project included students from preschool through grade 5. More than 265 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 to feed Alexandria families in need.
