Employees at the CFBISD Administration Building participated in a canned food drive for Metrocrest Services. Metrocrest Services is a local non-profit organization that supports adults, children, and seniors in the CFB community. The CFB Administration Building signed up to collect canned peas and carrots for the drive, while other CFB campuses have signed up to have a drive for other needs for the organization. Metrocrest Services’ slogan for the drive is “One Can Make a Difference.”
