'It's been our goal this year in the art club to give back to the community. I figured what better way to do that than to have an event where you can donate actual food items to those who are in need, ' said Kurtis Mullen, art teacher at Canisteo Greenwood School.
All of the items donated during the event will be given to the Canisteo Community Food Bank. Those who brought a donation to the event had the opportunity to choose a papier mâché bowl to take home.
