Dear Cougar Families, C. O Greenfield’s 8th graders are tackling food insecurity in our community. We are putting together a food pantry and are asking you to contribute if possible. Starting now, until December 16th we are collecting basic hygiene items as well as canned goods. Please do not bring in perishable items such as fresh fruit and veggies. We are only accepting canned items and other non-perishables. Thank you in advance!
