Kissing pigs for a good cause? Well, that is exactly what eight local teachers did on Friday.

Temple Christian held a “Food Fight” with 5 other local schools to see who could raise the most canned goods. All of the canned goods would go to support Family Promise, which is an organization that serves homeless families in Lima. Teachers from the losing homeroom in each grade had to kiss a piglet in front of the whole school. The school was given a $300 check for winning the food drive from HCF Management, a company that manages local healthcare facilities. Daniel Lee, HCF Community Marketing Coordinator spoke to us on the importance of giving back to the community.
