Sachem high school students individually packed hundreds of boxes of food to help feed local families this Thanksgiving. The student governments at both East and North held food drives leading up to the holiday, collecting items to create a full Thanksgiving meal. Each high school packed more than 400 boxes of food, totaling more than 800 holiday meals to be distributed. The donations went to Sachem families in need, and any leftover boxes were donated to the food pantry at Suffolk Independent Living Organization in Medford, Lighthouse Mission and the Town of Brookhaven to help feed those in the surrounding community.
