Delivery Details

Note: Please deliver CISD basket donations to the first table. We will
also be collecting food bank donations simultaneously, so label your
items clearly for "Holiday Baskets."


These baskets are part of Altrusa DFW's Holiday Hunger Project, also
known as the Red Bag Food Drive, a Southlake tradition that supports
six area food banks during the holiday season. In 2023, this project
helped distribute 28,000 pounds of food. The CISD Gift Baskets were
introduced in 2022 as part of this initiative. Altrusa DFW is a
501(c)(3) nonprofit, dedicated to charitable initiatives that promote literacy.
