Edge FCU to Hold Food Drive for New LHS Food Pantry
Wednesday, November 14, 2018 -
Each year, the Liverpool High School School-Wide Student 
Council organizes a “Penny War” fund-raiser to benefit a local non-profit organization, with Edge Federal Credit Union matching the school’s donation (up to $250).
This year, proceeds from the Penny War will benefit a new initiative at LHS – a food pantry.
In addition to its matching donation, Edge is holding a food and toiletry drive for the pantry. Those visiting the Edge FCU office (located at 7545 Morgan Road) can drop off items from the pantry’s wish list:
Protein Foods
- Tuna (canned in water)
- Chicken (canned in water)
- Canned beef stew
- Bean soups
- Other canned soups with meats

Because the food pantry consists of shelving units only, with no access to a refrigerator, organizers ask food donations be non-perishable and shelf-stable items only.
The pantry will not be able to accept used food or toiletry items that are opened and/or partially used.
