On behalf of the Student Affairs Team and Student Senate, Riverside Military Academy cadets are asking all parents to help build on our community service and provide food for those in need in Hall County. We ask that you all donate nonperishable food and other items on the list below. Three years ago, the RMA family came together and donated almost
4,500 lbs. of food to Georgia Mountain Food Bank, and we believe we can do this again and go beyond that. Last year, we finished 3
rd in the county with over
3,500 lbs. of food! This was amazing, and I know we can do it again. We are still so confident in believing in what our parents and our cadets can do, we entered the
Georgia Mountain Food Bank 2022 Food Drive Challenge! The drive will start on
October 12th – and end on October 28th. We ask all parents to please send canned foods and other listed items to the company your cadet is a cadet of and place the name of the company or the name of your cadet on the package. This will ensure we know exactly who the box is for. The cadets also asked if we could make it a competition again, and we agreed to do so. The drive of the cadets when they all collectively work towards one goal is amazing. The details of the winning company will go out to parents and cadets soon. We believe a food drive is a great way to introduce the idea of community service and selfless acts to all our cadets. I hope you all help RMA win the GMFB Food Drive Challenge of 2022. This is not just for the recognition of our cadets but to show all of Hall County that we genuinely care about our community.
