Brookland-Cayce High School to Hold Annual Bearcat Food Drive November 16-20, 2026

Cayce, SC 11/09/2026 - Brookland-Cayce High School is gearing up for its annual Bearcat Food Drive, with students, staff and the school community coming together to help local families in need.

Organized by the school's Student Council, the food drive will take place November 16 through November 20, with all donations benefiting Mission Lexington's Food Pantry.

The weeklong collection provides an opportunity for the Brookland-Cayce community to make a difference by helping provide essential food items to families experiencing food insecurity.

Donations can be dropped off in Room 230 throughout the food drive. Organizers are especially asking for several high-demand pantry items, including peanut butter, jelly, pasta, pasta sauce, cereal and oatmeal.

Along with supporting a meaningful community cause, the food drive will feature a friendly competition among grade levels for spirit points. The first-period class that comes out on top will earn a special donut celebration in December.

School organizers hope the annual tradition will encourage students to look beyond the classroom and recognize the importance of giving back and supporting their neighbors.

Every donation can make a difference, and the Brookland-Cayce Student Council is encouraging students, staff and community members to participate in this year's Bearcat Food Drive.

Through the effort, the school hopes to help Mission Lexington provide food and support to local families who need a helping hand.
