Students at Bluffton Middle School have collected non-perishable goods for the Bluffton Food Pantry since November, according to Robin Ault, middle school teacher.

On Wednesday morning Bluffton University baseball team members picked up the items collected and delivered them to the food pantry at St. John's UCC.

Each of the grades, 6-8 had a goal of 500 items, but all exceeded this goal. The 6th grade collected 517, 7th grade collected 1,012, and 8th grade donated 982 items. This is a grand total of 2,511 items.
