Organized by the student council, Lo-Ellen Park Secondary students are collecting food and donations for the Sudbury Food Bank’s Edgar Burton Food Drive until Dec. 12.

“The Edgar Burton Food Drive has been a tradition in Sudbury for decades and we at Lo-Ellen Park Secondary School would like to honor and carry on Edgar Burton’s mission in giving back to our community,” the student council told Sudbury.com. 

“Every day, Sudburians struggle to make ends meet, and the holiday season can be particularly stressful for many. This is why we started the initiative, and we need your help”

The student body at Lo-Ellen Park have set a goal to raise $10,000 by Dec. 12. 

“To date, we have raised over $4,000,” the students said. “Now is the time to give back and every cent counts — every $1 allows the Sudbury Food Bank to purchase six cans (of food).
