The Marble Falls and Burnet Consolidated independent school districts recently wrapped up their canned food drives, collecting several tons of non-perishable goods for a good cause, benefitting local food pantries across the Highland Lakes.

According to MFISD staff, the Mustangs collected over 10,000 donations for The Helping Center, St. Frederick’s Baptist Church, and The Cupboard at Cottonwood Shores. Marble Falls High School led the district in donations this year, collecting upwards of 3,000 cans and winning the Battle of the Cans.

“Thank you to all who participated and helped further our reach and support of local food pantries ahead of the holiday season,” reads an MFISD Facebook post.

Burnet High School students faced off in their own food drive and collected over 1,350 pounds of goodies to benefit LACare, staff shared. The high school football team shelled up the most donations this year, earning Dairy Queen gift cards.

“Thank you to everyone who donated to the Burnet community,” reads a BHS Facebook post. “We’re looking forward to next year.”
