This December the Jukes Foundation for Kids is partnering with the North Central High School Key Club to collect non-perishable food to give to needy families in Indianapolis. Every year, the NCHS Key Club does this food drive, but this year JFK wants to help improve the drive and the amount of food and money collected. The drive has been set up as a contest. The three classrooms that collect the most items and/or money will win a special breakfast.
