Braden River students kick off food bank efforts

Students and staff at Braden River High School are stepping up to restock the shelves at The Food Bank of Manatee.

The school is hosting a food drive through Sept. 21. The first-period class that donates the most food gets a breakfast party. There also is a “Kiss the Pig” competition, in which students donate money for a Braden River teacher or administrator to kiss a pig.

Students who bring five canned food items to the football game Sept. 21 will get free entry into the game.
