A little friendly rivalry is taking place for a great cause this week. Local elementary schools are competing to see who can collect the most food to help stock the End 68 Hours of Hunger pantry.
Winners get local bragging rights, though the real winners are the more than 170 K-6 students whom the organization supports each week.
“It’s going to be a lot of fun, we’re all pumped,” said Mandy McDonald, in her 17th year as family support liaison at Conway Elementary School.
