Students from Assumption College School (ACS) collected an estimated 25,000 pounds of food during this year’s Assumption Scares Hunger food drive, which was held on Wednesday, June 9, 2026.

A long running tradition, students in the school’s Grade 12 Social Justice and Equity class have been organizing the annual event now for over two decades.

“The main point of this class is to give back. At the beginning of the semester, Miss Torto broke us up into three groups which were Assumption Scares Hunger, Pennies for Heaven and Amplify Your Culture, and these are all initiatives that work to promote diversity, inclusion and giving back to the community,” said Tiffany Fischer, one of the student organizers for Assumption Scare Hunger. “When we first started this class, Ms. Torto told us, ‘if you don’t like helping people, this is not the class for you,’ and so everyone in this class is someone who wants to give back, make a change and make an impact.”
