(KAIR)--750 pounds.
That’s the weight of the food collected by local students wanting to give to those in need during the holiday season.
Natalie Brammer is the Student Council Sponsor and a teacher at the Atchison County Elementary School.
She told MSC News it was decided that the students in Effingham would hold a food drive, with that collection effort happening over recent weeks.
On Thursday, Brammer said all of the non-perishable items were collected at each grade level from the Effingham schools, and the final count recorded 980 items.
Brammer transported the donated items to the Atchison County Food Pantry, located in Atchison, where the items will, Brammer said, be used to assist needy families in Atchison County.
The food drive was sponsored by the Elementary Student Council.
