| Traditionally, MVPS like so many companies and organizations, has collected food during the month of November. Yet last year, after spending time with the Community Assistance Center in Sandy Springs, many of our youngest learners discovered the leanest time of year for giving occurs in the spring. Reflecting on this experience as well as the feedback received from Community Assistance Center volunteers, Mount Vernon made the decision to hold this yearβs food collection drive in April. |
