Here’s a statistic for you.  One out of seven students in the local schools may struggle with food insecurities.  That’s according to the Hamilton Southeastern Schools Foundation.

The foundation has been at the forefront of collecting boxes of pasta the last few weeks for donations to local food banks.  It’s a project involving the HSE Schools foundation along with a number of others, and is tied to the annual Fishers High School vs. HSE High School rivalry football game played on September 11th.

The pasta haul this year is expected to be a big increase over last year’s drive.  The Fishers High School Lacrosse team spent several hours Saturday sorting and packaging pasta for distribution.

The final amount of pasta collected will be announced on September 24th.
