BJA Middle School Donates More Than 13,000 Pounds of Food to Miracle Hill

GREENVILLE, SC – Bob Jones Academy middle school students recently held their annual food drive on behalf of Miracle Hill Children’s Home. The week of homeroom competition featured strategy sessions, collaborative efforts in counting, sorting, and scoring, and most of all generous giving to MHCH.

Homerooms earned points by meeting collection goals in a variety of categories from dry and canned goods to paper products and cleaning supplies.  Students boxed and weighed the donated items before loading them on a truck trailer provided by Miracle Hill.

The winning homeroom classes, led by Mrs. Marty Nelson and Mr. Jeff Foster, traveled to Miracle Hill and enjoyed a pizza lunch, a brief tour of one of the cottages, and an opportunity to help unload the truck and see how MHCH sorts and stores their contributions.

This year, BJA Middle School students gave MHCH over 11,000 items, and the combined weight of those items exceeded 13,000 pounds.
