The 2022 Student Hunger Drive has officially kicked off.
For the next six weeks, RIMSD students will help Rock Island High School and Thurgood Marshall Learning Center students collect food for the River Bend Food Bank's Student Hunger Drive.
All the food collected will help feed local families. Last year RIHS and THMLC were able to collect more than 22,000 pounds of food. Let's beat that number this year!
The high school is holding several events to collect donations.

- 9/29 Collection at Volleyball Games
- 10/14 Football Collection & 50/50 Raffle
