The OHS Student Council is participating in the River Bend Food Bank Hunger Drive. Orion has been well represented for several years and even placed first in our division last year! However, we are in need of your help! Currently we are EXTREMELY low in donations and would love for you to help us reach our goal. Any non-perishable food item can be donated in the OHS Office and we can even accept cash donations and do the shopping for you!
Did you know the River Bend Food Bank can turn $1 into 5 meals for those in need! Imagine what your donation CAN do!
Donations can be brought to OHS between 7:30am-4:00pm, Monday- Friday or call and we can arrange a pick-up! Last drop off date is November 8th!
Thank you to all who have already helped us fight hunger! Your support is greatly appreciated! With your help - we CAN do it!
