Students at Heir Force Community School made a difference in the community this morning. Heir Force students, along with the school's Builders Club, loaded up a truck with over 5,000 canned goods. 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. After the boxes were loaded up, we talked with one student about how the giving spirit can make such a huge impact in the local community.
It was festive and bright earlier Tuesday Evening in several Shawnee Township neighborhoods! The Indianbrook, Wildbrook, and Timberfield neighborhoods in Shawnee Township were dazzling with bright Christmas lights for the sixth annual Shawnee Luminary Night.

At the Indianbrook exit, volunteers collected canned goods, toiletries, and monetary donations for the West Ohio Food Bank to make sure that everyone can enjoy the Christmas season.
