Annual Soup Drive
The Student Council Association (SCA) is the driving force behind the annual soup drive, which benefits the food pantry at Catholic Charities' Lucy Project in Manassas, VA. The event brings in thousands of cans of hearty soup every year. The first year in 1975, they collected 1,153 cans. Now, 8,000 to 10,000 cans are collected annually.
At the end of the week, all the cans are displayed on the football field (weather permitting) or inside the auditorium. The student body gathers to celebrate their successful event and pray a special Living Rosary, praying for those who will ultimately benefit from their soup collection.
