Good Deed: McCallie School teams up with Salvation Army to feed local families

McCallie students load the Salvation Army truck with the food donations to complete Thanksgiving meals for 75 needy families.

The Salvation Army identified 75 needy families and registered them for Thanksgiving baskets. McCallie School was made aware of this need and stepped up to assist the hungry and vulnerable. Both The McCallie Middle School and Upper Schools collected turkeys/hens, potatoes, yams, vegetables, dressing and cranberry sauce for our local families who might not otherwise have a complete Thanksgiving meal to cook at home.

I love that community service is a part of the McCallie educational experience and the students serve beyond their campus. This teaches our younger generation so much more than what can be learned in the classrooms. We are so grateful McCallie is joining us in “doing the most good.”
