🏈🥫 That’s a whole lot of food for our neighbors! 💛

The Friendly Food Bowl between Grace Community School and The Brook Hill School brought the schools together for an incredible cause—and the results are in!

Together, these schools collected an amazing 6,476 pounds of food to support our neighbors in need! 🙌

We’re so grateful to the students, families, and school communities who came together to make this competition about more than a win on the field. Every donation helps stock PATH’s pantry and provide food for individuals and families in our community.

Thank you, Grace and Brook Hill, for showing what it looks like to turn school spirit into community impact! 💛
