Hello Mandela Community!

Our government has been shut down for 41 days already, and millions across the country are struggling with the lapse of funds, especially those who are supported by the SNAP program and federal workers going without paychecks. That’s why we are collecting food and clothing donations from anyone in our community who is willing to help. We will be distributing these supplies to any Mandela families or staff members who are struggling because of these difficult times, no questions asked. 

We are accepting:

• Non-perishable food

• Warm clothing

• Hygiene products

• Bottled water

• Any and all supplies you think might be helpful!

The drop-off will begin on Monday, November 10th and will occur in the Mandela Lobby, at the bins to the left of the entrance. We will also be hosting an organization event during Early Release sometime soon for students to help. Distribution will be on Friday, November 21st. This is a great way to get involved and give help to those who need it. We all need to stick together during these times and build a stronger Mandela community.

If you have any questions, please contact Mandela Seniors Mia or Elise.
