Spirit of Giving

Teachers and staff in the Anthony Wayne School District founded an organization in 2008, coined “Anthony Wayne Sprit of Giving (AWSG),” to help struggling families in the Anthony Wayne Community.  The main goal of this organization is to raise funds from individual donations to lessen the financial burden these families are facing as a result of extreme medical expenses. As a non-profit 501-c3 organization, we have been able to support  these families through fundraisers that have given us the ability to provide supports such as:  moving services, housecleaning, lawn mowing, Christmas presents, babysitting services, and food donations. Over the years, because of the communities support, we have been able to provide assistance to over 20 families in the Anthony Wayne district.

Our largest fundraiser will be held on February 27, 2015, which we will be hosting a spaghetti dinner during the AW boys basketball game against Northview.  Moreover, AWSG will have a t-shirt sale, 50/50 raffles, and silent auction from 4:30-8pm. Tickets are $5 each, dine in, carry out, or drive thru is available just follow the posted signs.  In addition to the spaghetti dinner, AWSG partnered with both the Waterville and Whitehouse Chamber of Commerce to provide a business expo with over 60 local businesses. The expo provides an opportunity for our community members to explore what Anthony Wayne local businesses have to offer.

Stuff the Bus Food Drive

The FT Student Leadership Council advisors, Sarah LeSage and Megan Meiring selected this organization for FT's "Stuff the Bus" campaign because Food for Thought provides food and basic personal needs throughout the NW Ohio area at 25 satellite locations.

Families are provided with approximately 3-4 days worth of groceries per family per visit to Food for Thought's Mobile Food Pantry (a 17 foot trailer, food pantry on wheels.)  The Mobile pantry is used to expand services to areas with low food access (USDA designated "food deserts"), where transportation to stationary food pantries is difficult. Food is loaded onto the pantry, and arranged in a “grocery store” fashion, through which the families can shop.

In addition to the mobile pantry, Food for Thought provides PB & J picnic lunches to those in need EACH Saturday morning, near the downtown main library.

Our response at FT in just the first 3 days of our campaign has been amazing! We are eager to see what our students will be able to provide for this unique organization and it's families during the next two weeks.

At the student leadership council's February meeting (Feb. 9), Food for Thought's trailer will arrive and members will "stuff their bus".  The student leadership council's mission this year is to spread the message of thankfulness and appreciation throughout our building and community.  FT students are excited to spread this message beyond our doors!

As a thank you to our students, we will tally the items donated and the fifth grade homeroom and sixth grade homeroom that brings in the most donations will each earn a pizza party.

Attached is the letter we sent home with all the students at FT explain about the pantry and the great number of supplies we are collecting from January 20 - February 6th.  Click HERE to read the letter.
