This Thursday and Friday (Nov. 6–7), Wylie ISD is joining KTAB, KRBC, Telemundo Abilene, Hardin-Simmons University, and United Supermarkets for the Big Country Food Drive — benefitting the Food Bank of West Central Texas.
Bring your non-perishable food donations to the Wylie ISD Administration Building (6251 Buffalo Gap Rd) and help us make a real difference for local families.
Superintendent Joey Light reminds us what giving is all about:
“Any time we can lend a helping hand to our neighbor, it gives us a chance to grow as individuals. If we show that to our students, they’ll carry it forward as they grow older.”
Let’s show the Big Country what Bulldog generosity looks like — one can at a time.
