St. Joseph Catholic High School in Saskatoon continued its Halloween tradition of having students go door to door requesting donations for Saskatoon Food Bank and Learning Centre, collecting 25,737 pounds of food in the space of a few hours.

The “Halloweening for Hunger” food drive is an annual success, thanks to the support of the community. This year, Saskatoon Police Service also assisted students in hauling boxes of food for transport to the Food Bank.
