DSST Cole High School Community Helps Make Sure That No Student Goes Hungry

DENVER (CBS4)- Students and staff at DSST Cole High School are stepping up to help their peers. They've set up a food pantry that distributes close to 100 boxes of food each week to families in need.

It started off with nonperishable items back in the fall and has grown to include produce and dairy. The team is now looking for a new refrigerator to store all the donations.

Food donations have been pouring in.

"We couldn't have done this without the support and community effort that we received. It's a really great way to come together," said DSST Cole High School Social Worker Audrey Harriger.

Those who want to donate are asked to go online to the DSST website and those in need of help are asked to contact Harringer at Audrey.harriger@scienceandtech.org.
