The varsity and junior varsity Lady Vikings basketball teams will collect canned goods and monetary donations for Blessings in a Backpack on Friday, Jan. 20.
Specific items being sought include cans of tomato or chicken noodle soup and canned ravioli.
The Huntington chapter of Blessings in a Backpack, a nationwide not-for-profit organization, provides weekend meals to children who participate in the free meal program at school.
The local chapter spends about $100 per child for a school year. All monetary donations will go toward feeding children of Huntington County.
