The annual food drive for KM DECA began on Tuesday, October 15th, and runs until Monday, October 28th this year.
The drive has been happening annually at Kettle Moraine High School for over 50 years and we have expanded its positive effects on our community since then. Students who are a part of DECA or who are in one of Mr. Dellis' marketing classes have the opportunity to give back to their community by distributing bags for food donations in nearby neighborhoods and then collecting the filled bags to be transported to Waukesha Food Pantry to help those in need.
We are very thankful to Pick 'N Save for providing the bags we use for collection and Target for providing the trailer that transports the food to Waukesha Food Pantry.
Last year we collected 10,000 pounds of food and this year our goal is to collect 11,000 pounds!
One important aspect of our DECA chapter is community service and the annual food drive is one of our many service activities.
Stay tuned for our Holiday Drive coming soon!
