Throughout first semester the Belmond-Klemme Jr/Sr High Student Council has been working on month long drives to raise money and food donations for the Belmond Community Food Pantry. As of Friday, December 16th we have raised over $100 to buy gallons of milk, and more surprising than that we have filled the back of four trucks with food and household necessitities! The responsibility, charitable donations, and effort has not fallen only on students' shoulders however. Local businesses have collected food, local farmers have donated bushels of corn to be sold and had the proceeds donated, students and faculty have donated money and food items, and the list goes on! It has truly been a community-wide effort! We should be proud!
