Dear Hickory Ridge Families,

We have an incredible update to share: as of this morning, our community has officially collected 3,193 non-perishable items for the Harrisburg Food Pantry!

We are nearly halfway to our 7,000-item goal, and it is all thanks to the heart and determination of our amazing Buckaroos. To keep the excitement going, please enjoy today’s featured student-made advertisements:

A student-made flyer with a textured green background. Large bold text at the top reads "Buckaroo Bargain." The flyer includes a list of items to give and the collection dates of April 13-21. The bottom of the flyer features a photograph of five white tin cans and a blue banner that says "Help people in need." The store date is listed as April 28.

A student-made flyer for Hickory Ridge Elementary’s Buckaroo Bargain with a light green watercolor background. The headline reads, "Don't let Hunger be the headline!" It lists items to bring: paper towels, toilet paper, dish detergent, water, canned fruit, peanut butter, grape jelly, ramen noodles, instant mashed potatoes, and laundry detergent. It notes "1 can equals 1 buckaroo" and shows three illustrations of tin cans.
