BELMONT — The Girls on the Run program at Belmont Elementary School has been working hard this fall, meeting twice a week to develop skills including building self confidence, working together with others and developing persistence to keep moving forward when faced with challenges, all while using running as a tool to help them grow.
One component of the program involves planning and implementing a community service project. As the holidays approach, the girls have decided to collect food and other important items for local food banks in Belmont and Laconia. The drive begins on Monday, Nov. 10 and will continue through Monday, Nov. 24.
Local food pantries are in need of the following items: canned goods, macaroni and cheese, pasta, baby food, baby wipes, diapers, toilet paper, toothbrushes, and toothpaste. Items can be delivered to the main office at Belmont Elementary School, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m.
For more information, call the school at 603-267-6568.
