"Spreading Thanksgiving Cheer through Food Donations"

Student Council's Initiative

Not every family has the luxury of a turkey and all the trimmings to enjoy on Thanksgiving. Recognizing this, the members of Mandan's Red Trail Elementary School Student Council took it upon themselves to make a difference. Their hearts were filled with the spirit of giving, and they set out to collect as much food as possible for those in need.

Through their hard work and dedication, the students were able to collect an impressive amount of food. Over 2,000 pounds of food were donated to AID, Incorporated, a Bismarck/Mandan non-profit that provides essential assistance to those facing hardships. This generous act of kindness is a testament to the students' compassion and their understanding of the true meaning of Thanksgiving.

Accomplishments over the Years

In just the last three years, Red Trail Elementary has shown remarkable consistency in their efforts. They have collected and donated nearly 5,000 pounds of food, demonstrating their commitment to helping the community. This ongoing support is making a real difference in the lives of those who rely on AID, Incorporated for assistance.

The school staff is incredibly proud of the students and their families for their unwavering support. Their collective efforts have created a ripple effect of kindness that extends far beyond the school walls. By coming together to donate food, they have shown that even small acts of generosity can have a big impact.

Impact on the Community

The Thanksgiving Food Drive organized by Red Trail Elementary School is not just about collecting food; it's about building a stronger community. By providing assistance to those in need, they are helping to create a more inclusive and caring society. The act of giving back during Thanksgiving reminds us all of the importance of helping our neighbors and making a positive difference in the world.

The students' efforts have inspired others in the community to get involved and contribute. It has sparked a sense of unity and purpose, as people come together to support one another during the holiday season. This spirit of giving is what makes Thanksgiving truly special and meaningful.
