BUCYRUS, OH (CRAWFORD COUNTY NOW)—The students in the Pioneer / Bucyrus DECA program are holding a Thanksgiving food drive to benefit the Father’s Heart Healing Center local food ministry and community meal program in Bucyrus. DECA will be collecting items at Bucyrus Secondary School through Thursday, November 19th to support the soup kitchen’s annual Thanksgiving dinner.
“(Dan and Karolyn Rebon) have done so much for our school and the community, and this was just a small way to say thank you to them,” explained Lillyan Butchko, Bucyrus DECA senior. “By collecting items, we can support an organization that means so much to them.”
As part of the food drive, DECA is collecting turkeys and hams, canned corn and beans, packs of rolls and gravy, instant mashed potatoes, stuffing, plates, utensils, napkins, or other items that will help support the Father’s Heart Healing Center’s regular community meals.
“Our DECA chapter really wanted to find a way to give back to the community this holiday season,” stated DECA chapter Vice-President Brooklyn Ryland. “Thanksgiving is the perfect time for us to come together and help local people in need.”
Anyone interested in donating items to support the food drive is encouraged to drop them off at Bucyrus Secondary School, located at 900 West Perry Street in Bucyrus, in care of Bucyrus DECA.
