The Madison Swim and Dive team will be hosting a food drive this coming weekend at the Concorde District championship meet at Cub Run (click here for a copy of the event flyer). We are asking you to do two things to help support this effort:
- Pass along word to any friends you may have at other schools.
- Come with food items to both prelims and finals this weekend.
This food drive is a great way for our kids to give back to their community in a meaningful way. You may not realize it, but we entering into a difficult time for food pantries. While there is always a surge in giving around the holidays hunger
continues throughout the year. January and February are especially difficult as families face higher heating bills, credit card bills from the holidays, and other financial challenges.
Over the next four weeks we will see thousands
of people gather to watch their friends and family members compete at districts,
regions and states. That means we have the opportunity to raise a significant amount
of food to support those less fortunate than ourselves. Hopefully we’re successful at
doing that. Any little bit helps. So
thank you in advance for not only supporting our kids in the pool, but our
community at large. Together we can make a difference in the lives of families
throughout the area!
