Canned Food Drive

Sponsored by campus ministry, the annual canned food drive, conducted around the Thanksgiving season, is one of Hoban's oldest traditions.
  • The 2009 drive was from Monday, Nov. 3, through Monday, Nov. 23.
  • The goal was 40,000 cans or units of nonperishable foods. In 2009, a total of 36,222 cans were collected.
  • Cans are collected by the first period classes. The class with the highest number at the end of the drive wins the Golden Can Award.
  • The grade level with the highest total will celebrate a picnic and field day on Friday, April 22, 2010.
  • Last year the seniors won; for pictures of last spring's senior picnic, click HERE. To see this year's first period room results click HERE. The grade-level results are posted below.
