For the 11th year in a row, students in Ste. Rose aimed to scare away hunger in the community.
And for the 11th straight year, that is exactly what they did. Students went around town on Friday afternoon picking up non-perishable food items left on community members' curbs.
Lindsay Lepla once again spearheaded the drive.
"It went very well," said Lepla. "It was very well received; there were so many food donations from our community."
Around 200 students hit the streets, and as Lepla says, they enjoyed every minute.
"They're quite excited to go out in the community and collect the donations," continued Lepla. "Especially the kids that have done it before, they look forward to being able to do this every year."
All donations have since been given to the Ste. Rose Food Bank. They filled two trucks, and one had two layers. Scare Away Hunger 2026 in Ste. Rose was a major success, and Lepla appreciates the community for giving back to those in need.
"It's an amazing feeling to know that our community cares for everyone," ended Lepla. "It makes it easier for some who can fill their cupboards thanks to this food drive."
Lepla says they'll be back next year for the 12th straight year.
