Food Drive for Westside Food Bank Dec. 3rd – 19th!

Monday, December 3rd – Wed December 19th, Front Office Lobby

Canned soup, stews and other meats as well as packaged pasta and beans all urgently needed to help those struggling to put food on the table during the holidays. During the week of December 10th there will be collection tables every morning during drop -off (8am to 8:30am) at the front and back gates.

Franklin and the Santa Monica Malibu Unified School District will be holding a food drive for the Westside Food Bank from December 3rd to December 19th.
