Hungry families win in Super Bowl food drive

On The Town

Gathering donations to aid needy families is a sporting affair at the Community Presbyterian Church. On Super Bowl Sunday, members of the congregation vote for their favorite team by placing a donated item in either team’s barrel at the entrance to the church. Coordinating the worthy effort is Ned Roberts, left and Pastor Dick Olson, right. Every year the Church holds its donation Super Bowl, the bin receiving the most items is the team that wins Super Bowl. This year the Giants’ bin had 137 items donated and the Patriots had 82 items. By noon Super Bowl Sunday, all the items were given to the Idyllwild Help Center. Photo by Cid Castillo
