Food Drive

Brackett Spring Food Drive

April 28 – May 5, 2026

Did you know that Brackett always has snacks on hand for students?

Has your student ever grabbed pretzels or an applesauce cup from the front office?

If so, you have been supported by Arlington EATS.  Arlington EATS works to engage the community in eliminating food insecurity and hunger in Arlington.

Brackett and EATS have a long time partnership, and on April 28, we are kicking off our Brackett Spring Food Drive.  We encourage you and your student to learn more about EATS by checking out their website.

This year, we are also partnering with the APS Family Resource Center – Spy Ponder Threads to collect toiletries for the APS Community.  Spy Ponder Threads is a space in the APS Welcome & Resource Center where APS families, students, and staff can access essential items they need to thrive.

If you are in a position to do so, please consider donating items to this year’s drive.  Grade specific requests are found below.

 

Thank you for your support!
