Canned Food Drive for Harris Elementary School


  • Church of the Cross 8140 Exchange Drive Austin, TX, 78754 United States (map)

As we head toward the beginning of the school year, we'll be collecting nonperishable food items for Harris Elementary School and the Communities in Schools Program. We've partnered with them in the past through backpack drives and Christmas Gifts, and this year they've asked for help starting a food pantry for families who are unable to afford all of their groceries. From August 4th to August 17th, we will have a bin in the lobby where you can leave items.

See below for a list of the most needed times.

Contact Kimberly with any questions.
