Manitou Springs students are trying to help the community by organizing a food drive during the home game against Montezuma-Cortez on Friday, Oct. 1. 

Grace Allen, Eligh Hettle, Tyler Maloney, Lairden Rogge, Nian Crouch, Victoria Hall, Alle Pieri, Samara Coakley and Mary Gomez are asking fans to bring nonperishable items to the game.

The items will be organized through the food pantry at the school and distributed to kids and families in need around the district. 

The students are involved in the Inspiring Leadership Class at the high school.
