Mobile County Public Schools Central Office outdid itself this year, donating 1,142 pounds of food in its annual Fall Food Drive for Feeding the Gulf Coast. That's enough to provide over 950 meals to families in need along the Gulf Coast -- and about double what Central Office has donated in most years past. Thank you to all who participated for your generosity. #PerseverancePropelsProgress
