Check your local public school district to see if they are hosting a Thanksgiving Food Drive.

Some public schools on the Peninsula, like Newport News Public Schools, are having food drives where students and their families can donate food.

Williamsburg, Hampton and James City County public schools did not immediately respond for comment so it is unclear if the schools are collecting canned goods. York County spokeswoman Katherine Goff told WYDaily information regarding food drive donations either by the school district or club organizations are available through the school’s website.
