GET STUFFED BOX
TO GO BOX
INFORMATIONAL VIDEO
It's that time of year again for fall and winter events.
Last year, in 2023 we supported 39 students 193 family members and that number is expected to rise as financial insecurities persist.
To keep the tradition going, we are asking the community to please give a quarter or any denomination (you can be anonymous) to QUARTERS FOR TURKEYS or donate items (The list of suggested items is attached) towards a GET STUFFED BOX. Items for a hot meal with the fixings and dessert for our Banning students and their families on Thanksgiving Day and to provide an extra TO-GO box of food for the students' one-week school vacation, which they will miss breakfast and lunch.
We thank you in advance for your consideration and commitment to the Wilmington community and surrounding areas, as well as for supporting our grassroots movement to continue addressing the serious need for daily food and basic necessities.
You heard this before we are all going through something, some much bigger than we could even imagine, whether it's physical, emotional, or mental. We cannot let these obstacles take away our normalcy.
Through self-care, we must strive to find what is needed to overcome these difficulties. One aspect of self-care is the selflessness of gestures toward others, no matter how small. The rewards will be returned to you twofold. Selfless giving through time, food, or money makes a difference in the community, which feels so unstable currently. You can make an impact.

LAST YEARS 2023 GET STUFFED BOX
This event is a collaborating effort by
Banning H.S. CP Magnet, Banning H.S. ASB Leadership
A Needy Wilmington & The Wilmington Community
Working Conjunction with
Banning H.S. Social Workers, Counselors and
The Parent Center
Organized By
Ms. Rodriguez, & Ms. Osorio - CP Magnet
Mr. Reyes - ASB Leadership
THE GET STUFFED BOXES (and 1 week of extra food while students are on fall break) are created by teachers and students.
QUARTERS FOR TURKEYS a fundraiser where students and teachers donate their change,
(as little as twenty-five cents cause it makes cents right?) for gift cards to go with the get stuffed boxes.
Food Drop Off Is on November 11th in front Of Banning High School where community members can drop off food Items for The Get Stuffed Boxes along with A $25.00 grocery gift card (if you wish) for the family to choose the protein of choice turkey, ham or other.
All proceeds will go to Banning High School identified families in need this fall season.
As of November 4th, we have forty families two hundred members in need. The final list will be out on Wednesday November 9th. All families will need help on thanksgiving. Twelve families have been identified to receive assistance from the ILWU Feed the community meal give away but that leaves the remaining twenty-eight families still need help. All families have been vetted by our social workers, counselors, and the parent center.
We realize that these are tough economic times. Our dollar does not stretch as much as it used to, but if we all pitch in a little it will go a long way. A canned good, a few items donated from the wish list for the box of even just twenty-five cents (cause it just makes cents, doesn’t it?) could help provide a meal for thanksgiving day. Even if you have any unwanted pennies lying around, (check your couches, and car seats because we will take them!
We are attempting three fundraiser campaigns for the thanksgiving season. The first is THE GET STUFFED BOX. Teachers and their classrooms will have a box setup for items that will be donated.
If you would like to help and develop a GET STUFFED BOX of food and drop it off, we would be so grateful. The list is attached. Even if you can donate one item it could help us reach our goal.
We have families who have access to a stove while we also have families who may use a different source like a microwave or hotplate. We have compiled a list of items needed for both types.
The second campaign is QUARTERS FOR TURKEYS. Students and teachers can donate their spare change to help us obtain gift cards FOR THE GET STUFFED BOXES. This will be used for a choice of a protein or any other item.
The third campaign has to do with our community. On Saturday November 11th, community members can drop off nonperishable donations to help us with fill these THE GET STUFFFED BOXES. Drop off will be in front of the school from 9 am to 12 pm. Hope to see you there!
If you have a chance, please share this post. Letter for Thanksgiving.

First if you don’t mind be kind and take a moment and share this post.
Unfortunately we will not be doing an Thanksgiving Event in the Harbor, meal service or a Grab n Go. Their was to many griefs, losses and tragic news in mid 2022 after senior graduation, packages and prom we decided to take the rest of the year off.
Soon as the new school year started there was an alarm of many students who are going through hard times during COVID and still in POST COVID and its affecting them in school and at home so with conversations we decided to get back in gear and start with this Thanksgiving and Christmas ” GET STUFFed BOX“ giveaway.
Providing Thanksgiving & Christmas meals boxes, gift cards and 1 week extra food items for fall and winter school vacation break. For those who can cook a traditional turkey dinner and a different option for those who do not have a kitchen but have hot plate or microwave to cook or heat up items,
These students are in need from Banning High School, their siblings in the Wilmington Community School and their families.
Everything has be vetted through Banning High School social workers and counselors (serving as the HUB)
