Okarche FCCLA assisted again this year to collect food for the Community Food Drive, placing boxes in the elementary school and high school.
The classes that brought the most food won a pizza party. The second grade brought the most food from the elementary, while the ninth grade brought the most food from the high school.
FCCLA checks expiration dates and organizes the collection, then takes the food to Light Your World Church and drops it off at the food pantry to be given to those in need during the holidays.
