The Queen of Peace Student Council is once again organizing its annual Thanksgiving Food Drive to support families in need through the Queen of Peace Food Pantry.
As we prepare for the Thanksgiving season, we are asking our QPGS families to come together and help make the holiday a little brighter for those in our community. Students are encouraged to bring in the food items assigned to their grade level. These donations will help us assemble Thanksgiving baskets filled with holiday essentials for local families.
