    • Finding a teacher who is willing to host and supervise the activity.
    • Finding a space to host the activity.
    • Signing up and obtaining approval for your activity by using this link: https://tinyurl.com/palyprimetime

SURPLUS FOOD RECOVER & FOOD DRIVE ON CAMPUS
When: Every school day during brunch and lunch
Where: Around the Paly Cafeteria
On any school day,, bright yellow bins are placed in and around the Paly Cafeteria for students to donate their unwanted food or bring any non-perishable food items from home. Paly students can donate surplus fruit or packaged food for those suffering from hunger. Your kind acts will also lead to a more sustainable planet by conserving the water and energy used to produce the otherwise wasted food.
