Memorial, Stratford high schools donate 800,000 food items for community pantries

The student councils from Memorial and Stratford high schools in Spring Branch ISD recently collected hundreds of thousands of food donations to distribute to area food banks.While there may be many competitions pitting one school’s student body against another, Memorial and Stratford high school students have forged a competition that benefits food pantries across greater Houston.

Having grown exponentially in its sixth year, the students were reported to gather an estimated 398,000 items... each. Food pantries strive for greater donations this time of year, heading into the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday seasons. “It was a great experience to be a part of this and be able to give back,” said Grace Coker, philanthropy chair on the Memorial High School Student Council executive board. “We connected on a common goal: benefiting the community. We took the competition out of the picture and focused on what is most important, helping those in need. I can’t thank everyone who participated enough, we could not have done it without our community’s support.
