Jessica Adams and Laura Duckworth sort through donations at GDCI's 2008 Canned Food Drive.
GDCI Can Drive looks to to last year

Goderich District Collegiate Institute wants to see
your cans on Tuesday, December 8.
Students from GDCI will be going door-to-door in
the Goderich area collecting donations for the GDCI
Christmas Food Drive, which will be donated to the
Huron County Christmas Bureau.
Jessica Adams, student body representative, ex-
plained the school, along with partners
The Goderich Suncoast Mall and the Bank
of Nova Scotia, will be gathering food for
the Christmas Bureau, and outlined what is
needed.
"We need items like canned foods, dry
pastas, cereal, anything that has a long shelf -
life," she said. "And if you're not going to be
home that day, we ask that you leave your
non-pereshible food items on your front
step."
Adams added that, if residents aren't com-
fortable leaving the food on their front porch,
they can always drop it off at the school.
Students will be circulating through God-
erich, Saltford and the VLA to try and get
food to the Huron County Christmas Bureau
right before their busy time.
Last year saw the students bring in six
pick-up trucks full of food, and Adams says
they're hoping for more this year. •
"We've got 180 students, split up into
27 teams, and the real goal here is to raise
awareness," she said. "There are people in
Huron who need help, even if you don't see
them."
The main focu's of the drive is to help feed
those families who may need some help
during the holiday season.
Adams said that there are some unaccept-
able items, including homemade preserves,
cleaning products, and anything that has
been opened..
"We know that the bureau also gives out baskets
with toys in them, so if people want to leave toys, we
ask that they be unopened, in their original packag-
ing," she said.
Those interested in supporting need only answer
the door when the students come knocking, or, a cash
donation can be made through the Huron -Perth Chil-
dren's Aid Society by calling 519-524-7356 ext. 3270,
or 1-800-265-5198 ext. 3270.
