3,000 Items and Counting — Shepardson STAR Squad’s Food Drive
Shepardson Elementary students set a goal of 1,000 food items for a local pantry, then tripled it — collecting over 3,000 items with help from Otter Products volunteers.
Students at Shepardson Elementary in Fort Collins, Colorado, set out to do something big — and then they did something bigger. Their Project Heart experience was focused on collecting food donations for a local food pantry, and they set themselves an ambitious goal: 1,000 food items. What happened next is the kind of story that reminds everyone why believing in kids matters. Thanks to the dedication and drive of the Shepardson STAR Squad, students more than tripled their goal, collecting over 3,000 items for families in need.
The students didn’t stop there. They invited volunteers from Otter Products to help them deliver the donations to the local food pantry — turning the project into a true community partnership. These students are proof that no matter your age, background, or ability, anyone can use their time, talent, and treasure to give back and make a lasting difference. Great job, Shepardson Stars!
