Johnstown, Northridge schools compete in food drive

The Johnstown-Monroe and Northridge school districts recently honored the winning community in its annual October food drive held last fall.

Johnstown was awarded the commemorative plaque during halftime of the varsity boys basketball game between the schools earlier this month. The school communities collected and donated more than 20,000 items to the Johnstown Northridge Food Pantry, which is located at the Johnstown Independent Baptist Church.

The food was distributed to local families in need.
