Area schools collect food items for Hall Food Pantry

PERU – The rivalry on the court was put aside during the Wednesday night basketball game last week between Hall and St. Bede for a different challenge, collecting food items for the Hall Township Food Pantry. The lobby of the Abbot Vincent Gymnasium was filled with donations from students and faculty of both schools to collect food for families in need. Over 1,400 food items and $500 in cash were collected.
