Key Club Partners with Hawkeye Harvest Food Bank

In the commons after school, Addyson Nepple, Madelyne Stankey, and Kayla Eide represent the Key Club in their food drive for Hawkeye Harvest Food Bank.

The Key Club at Mason City High School hosted a food drive, hoping to make a difference in our community by donating to those in need. It was a partnership with the Hawkeye Harvest Food Bank.

“The food drive was very successful,” Junior Kaitlyn Thangaraj who helped put this all together. “We got over $50 and around 75 items of food!”

The top staff member and top two students who brought in the most donations received a special prize, consisting of a variety of gift cards from local businesses. Everyone who contributed received a sweet treat as an extra incentive. The Key Club says they took on the project because donations tend to slow down during this time of year.
