Who said a little friendly competition didn t benefit anyone?
Dodge City Middle School and Comanche Middle School engaged each other as they participated in a Food Drive Competition from Dec. 1-16, with all proceeds going to the Manna House in Dodge City.
DCMS students and staff collected 3,325 food items, while CMS collected 3,746 food items, collectively a grand total of 7,071.
“We have never seen a food drive like that ever, never,” said Steve Tabor, who currently operates the day-to-day operations at the Manna House. “This was just beyond my expectations with what we received.”
Tabor has been overseeing the Manna House since the death of former director Michael Hoar in late November. Tabor was the previous director of the Manna House from 2014 to 2019 before Hoar and was asked to supervise operations until a permanent director can be found.
