Students at H.H. Dow High School brought canned food to school last week just in time for Thanksgiving. The nonperishable food items, as well as personal hygiene products, were picked up by the Salvation Army of Midland Monday afternoon and will be distributed to people in need in Midland County. The school filled 68 ream-sized copy paper boxes with food. The National Honor Society and the Key Club sponsored the drive to make the holiday brighter for people who are struggling. Each year, one in six American families go without a Thanksgiving dinner. Christian Smith, a senior and president of National Honor Society, said originally only NHS members were going to bring in cans. But then the group thought "'Why not Key Club too? Why stop there? Why not open it up to the whole school?'" Key Club agreed to co-sponsor the project.
