Pioneer and Garrison "Food Bowl" brings in 3000 lbs of food for Realtors Annual Food Drive

Garrison Middle School Principal Gina Yonts and Pioneer Middle School Principal Dana Jones reported to school board members Tuesday, Nov. 2 their schools collected more than three thousand pounds of food during the "Food Bowl" campaign in conjunction with the annual Garrison vs. Pioneer 8th grade football game.

All the food was donated to the Blue Mountain Action Council Food Bank in support of the Realtors Annual Food Drive which netted more than 20,000 pounds of food this year.

 Students began collecting food one month before the big game and had collection bins at Borleske Stadium during the contest.

Special thanks to Realtor Peter Swant for working with the schools to coordinate this successful effort to help the community.
