When G. C. Huston Public school students in Southampton decided to start a collection of food for local food banks, the Southampton Firefighters Association came to the rescue.
On Friday, December 19th, a fire truck, siren wailing and filled with food arrived at the school where excited students lined the street anxious to meet the firefighters with high-fives all around.

Not only was the 400-can challenge reached, but it far surpassed the goal with over 3,000 items donated.
The food was to be divided and distributed to the local Salvation Army Food Bank, the Saugeen First Nation Food Bank and and the Living Hope Food Basket.
It was a lesson in learning to help others and giving back to the community and the students were excited to be part of it.
