Smith-Cotton High School senior Abby Bruce, the student director for Community Cafe, accepts a donation of $1,000 from the kitchen staff and administrators at Smith-Cotton Junior High, as well as members of the Sedalia 200 district s food service staff.
The junior high kitchen staff made Valentine s Day cookies that were purchased by junior high staff members and students; all proceeds went to the cafe, which provides an evening meal free of charge five nights a week for those in need.
Bruce said the donation is quite meaningful and shows that even in hard times like these, we can still make sure people can get a meal.
