Students collected 1,715 items and $514. The third and ninth grades won class competitions.
Students Oliver Lock, Colton Searles, Luke Stewart and Kelsey Watson, accompanied by Beta Club Sponsor Melody Paulson and Superintendent Scott Gemes, delivered what was collected Dec. 11 to the pantry.
The Mustard Seed Food Pantry had its monthly distribution on Thursday, December 17 from 4-6 pm at Prairie Home United Methodist Church, 540 Highway Drive.
Sign in was under the awning at the back of the church. Masks are requested and social distancing will be observed. Those receiving food at no charge had to bring a photo ID, proof of address (such as a utility bill), and Social Security cards for each member of the household.
