Over 260 lbs of Food Donations Collected Through Bremen Public Schools’ Open Gym Program

When Bremen School Board members met Monday, Superintendent Dr. Jim White provided an update about the open gym program that has been held at Bremen High School since January.

A unique aspect of Bremen’s open gym program is that community members are asked to bring along a food donation as an “entry fee” Dr. White said that to date, they’ve donated about 263 lbs of food to the local food pantry. He anticipates that about a quarter of a ton of food will be donated by the time they wrap up the open gyms in March.

Superintendent White also mentioned that an average of 35 individuals have been using the facilities at Bremen High School when they hold the open gyms from 1 p.m. until 3 p.m. on Sundays.
