A youth council member reported progress on plans for an interschool food‑drive competition: the Student Committee Action Council (SCAC) at the student's school approved the initiative with a suggested timing of December or later, and council members agreed February would be the most practical month. The member said the drive would probably last two to three weeks and proposed prize structures such as a lottery among donors or tiered awards for schools that collect the most items.
Members discussed partnering with existing local food‑bank efforts and acknowledged that running a multi‑school drive may require extending the collection period beyond a single school's typical two‑ to three‑week schedule. The council agreed to coordinate outreach through each school's student organizations to manage collections and publicize the competition.
