IDAHO FALLS — Students in Idaho Falls School District 91 thought this year’s annual Souper Bowl food drive wouldn’t bring in nearly as much as past years due to COVID-19 complications.
The student bodies were shocked when they learned they blew last year’s record out of the water.
As of Tuesday night, District 91 had reported more than 170,000 food items collected in the drive. Last February, the total number was 116,170.
For the drive, students stood outside of grocery stores, collected donations from houses, and contacted local businesses to find support.
