Highlight: Thanksgiving Food Pantry Drive

Each year, Edison HS PTSA provides grocery gift cards so families can choose the fresh foods they need for their Thanksgiving break meals. Last Thanksgiving, thanks to your generosity, the PTSA was able to give 30 $50 ALDI gift cards to families in need. Please consider donating to support this effort for Thanksgiving 2025. Any funds raised beyond what is needed for the Thanksgiving gift cards will be used to purchase food items needed for Edison’s on-site food pantry or toward the upcoming Winter and Spring break food assistance gift cards. The Edison community truly appreciates your generosity!
