Niles Food Drive Today

The Niles Athletic Department has combined forces with the Niles High School SADD, N Club and Athletic Booster Club to help support the Niles Salvation Army.

If you would like to join Niles Community Schools in their fight against hunger, please bring non-perishable food items to this Friday night’s matchup between the Niles Vikings and the Benton Harbor Tigers. By joining in the support of the Salvation Army, donators will receive a discount for entering the game and complimentary popcorn.

Currently the biggest needs for the Salvation Army are: powdered milk, anything canned with meat (tuna, Chili, Dinty Moore beef stew/chicken and dumplings) and cereal.

“The Salvation Army food bank is at an all-time low, and it is the goal of the Niles Community Schools to help in whatever way possible,” said Taylor Campbell, N-Club President and varsity voys basketball student athlete. “This a great opportunity for Niles High School students to give back to the local community in ways we didn’t know we could. There is a direct impact by our donations to the food bank right here in our area. It is a good feeling knowing we can help make somebody’s holiday season a little better."
