Churchill Families,

We’re excited to kick off our annual Holiday Cheer Drive — a series of fundraisers to provide food and gifts to Churchill families in need this holiday season. We are asking for your support to help us reach our goal! There are several ways students and families can participate:

1.) Empty Can & Bottle Drive

Donate your empty cans and bottles! Donations may be brought to school, or pickup can be arranged. To schedule a pickup, please email Mrs. Henderson at henderson_e@4j.lane.edu.

We are accepting donations now through Wednesday, December 17th.

2.) Holiday Food Drive 

Donate non-perishable food items, gift cards, and/or money to our holiday food drive to support CHS families in need. Our goal is to provide both holiday meal boxes and winter break food boxes for students and families. Students can bring donations to their first-period teacher through Wednesday, Dec. 17th. Students without a first-period class may drop donations in the front office bins. 

We welcome all non-perishable items and especially appreciate donations such as:
