2020-2021 food drive

Heartfelt thanks to the families who contributed to the MS54 food drive this week. Our neighbors are so grateful. Many are working yet in need. 

If you can — please donate food on a weekly basis. Or, when you order online, have a portion delivered to:

MS54 Booker T. Washington JHS Main Entrance on West 108 Street, between Amsterdam and Columbus Avenues.

Donations are  accepted from 7:30am to 5pm every weekday. 
PLEASE DO NOT ORDER DELIVERIES FOR THE WEEKEND!
