A line of vehicles driven by Clarkston High School Boys Varsity football players filled the parking lot at Lighthouse Emergency Services in Clarkston, Aug. 19
Along with players from the JV football team they visited neighborhoods around the area and collected donations for their 14th Annual Rush for Food.
After the freshman team boxed up the last of the food, they placed it on the scale to add to the final tally – 4,973 pounds – a new record.
The annual event brings the players together to give back to their community that supports them during the season. The food, along with personal and paper products collected by the Clarkston Chiefs, will go back to the community.
Donations are always welcome at Lighthouse Emergency Services, Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. They are located at 6330 Sashabaw Road in Clarkston.
