The youth group from Odessa churches has collected just under 2,000 pounds of food and toiletries to help fill the shelves of the local Food Bank, generously donated by the Odessa community. A group from the high school agriculture class will help sort food, and members of the National Honor Society chapter will help with bagging and delivery for the holidays this month and next.
