The students won the competition with a total of 291 items and the faculty/staff contributed 248 for a grand total of 539.

The club secured a grant that will match up to $900 in food stuffs, so students went shopping Saturday, Dec. 5, to fill the quota and deliver the donations/purchases to the Mitchell Area Food Pantry.

The breakdown of what was donated includes: 185 cans of fruit and vegetables, 122 cans of soup and spaghetti, 154 boxes/bags of meal helpers, 15 cans of meat and 63 miscellaneous items.
