Albuquerque, NM (KKOB) –APS high school students across the city are coming together to help their fellow students in need by organizing food drives in their communities. Each high school is gathering donations from individuals, businesses and community organizations. Members of the public who’d like to donate can drop off non perishable food on Saturday, November 14th at the Berna Facio Professional Development Complex on Louisiana and Comanche NE from 9am to 3pm. According to APS, more than 2,000 students access services provided by the McKinney-Vento program. This food drive will support students experiencing homelessness and food insecurity so they are better able to concentrate and focus in class without the worry, embarrassment, and social stigma associated with poverty.
