WORLD CHANGERS 

Brown School's World Changers are gearing up for our We Scare Hunger campaign.
We will be supporting the Daily Bread Food Bank by collecting non-perishable foods from October 17 - November 1st. Last year we were able to collect over 2500 pounds of food - we would love to surpass that for 2016! More and more people are relying on food banks and your donations make a huge difference.

Who are the World Changers? World Changers are a dedicated group of students who are interested in outreach - both locally and globally. Anyone can join. We follow
a number of Free The Children's campaigns (We Scare Hunger being one of them)
as well as other initiatives that spark the students' interest.

If you have any questions don't hesitate to contact World Changers' parent co-chairs, Allison Fortier and Laura Finch
