Charges collect canned goods for needy

SUFFOLKK, Va. - The John Yeates Chargers have been busy collecting canned food items as part of their civic mission to help restock area foodbanks.

Empty shelves in the school cafeteria were turned into the Charger Can Cupboard. Each grade level was given shelves to stock full of cans.

The can items will be going to the area Salvation Army and the Union Mission who will be using them to stock shelves in their foodbanks to supply needy families.

Seventh graders were first to stock all of their shelves. In second place: the sixth graders and coming in third: the eighth graders.
