HS students organizing food drive

Students at Blaine High School are planning to conduct a food drive on Halloween.

Members of the Students With a Purpose (SWAP) club will go door to door from about 6 to 8 p.m. on Thursday, October 31. They will focus on several different neighborhoods including Birch Bay Village, Semiahmoo’s gated communities and Blaine’s lettered streets and Salishan Park area.

SWAP’s goal is to collect non-perishable foods, warm clothing and diapers, which will be donated to the Blaine Food Bank and the Blaine school district’s Family Service Center.

This will be the Halloween food drive’s third year. Last year, about 500 pounds of food items were donated to the food bank.

If the students do not visit your house but you would still like to donate, you can drop off your donations at the main high school office at 1055 H Street during the first week of November.
