Grace Lutheran canned food donation

Grace Lutheran High School students unloading a donation of 350 canned food items to the Idaho Foodbank on Aug. 29.

POCATELLO — Grace Lutheran High School students recently held a canned food drive that resulted in a substantial donation to the Idaho Foodbank in Pocatello.

Giovanni Delarosa, student body president at Grace Lutheran, said 350 cans of food were donated recently as part of the back-to-school activities the school’s president and representatives hold at the beginning of every year.

“One activity was to bring cans of food for prizes,” he said. “At the end of the week, we had 350 cans, which we donated to the food bank.”

Delarosa explained he and the other students and faculty felt so proud of being able to donate the canned food to the food bank.

“The students and faculty felt very good about this,” he said. “It was one of the most successful canned food drives the school has ever seen.”

The Idaho Foodbank is located at 555 S. First Ave in Pocatello. More information about the food bank can be found at idahofoodbank.org.
