Their class decided to dress up coffee cans with pictures of food, make up a little slogan for each and ask the congregation to take them home. This past week most of the cans were returned to the church, with a total collection of $430 in them. The children will be going shopping to purchase the food, then deliver it to the North Huron Food Bank. Pictured are Isaac Baker and Alyssa Diehl.
