The food was collected as part of Heir Force's annual food drive, and all donated items will fill the pantry at the Neighborhood Relief Store.

"The reason we do this drive is it gets everybody in the school to participate in our community and donate in our community. It will help them a lot so they don't have to focus on buying food for themselves, and they could expand their opportunity with their money," said Cale Hughes, student president of the Builders Club at Heir Force Community School.
Through the annual food drive, Heir Force has raised over 80,000 non-perishable food items that have been donated to Allen County families.
