At Niagara Career and Technical Education Center in Sanborn, N.Y., SkillsUSA advisor Scott Brauer asked members to collect food and organize it in bags. Students made the rounds at school, shared the importance of helping the pantry and asked for donations. Each grocery bag represented a meal for a needy family. The result was 1,000 pounds of food in bags for 150 meals delivered to the local food pantry. Pictured above, students shared a sign of their hard work. The class that collected the most was rewarded with a pizza party.
