On any given day, residents in Chandler, Arizona can find 8-year-old Dylan Pfeifer sitting on the corner of his cul-de-sac with his handwritten banner that reads, âDylanâs Food Drive.â Initially Dylan wanted to help students receive internet access, but since that task was too complex for the third grader to achieve, he turned his efforts to a food drive. He has already hosted three food drives with the help of his mom. They make flyers and posters, and post on Facebook to inform people when and where the food drive is happening. Dylan’s enthusiasm never tires.
