Hungry families win in Super Bowl food drive

At right, 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.

By noon Super Bowl Sunday, all the items were given to the Idyllwild Help Center. Photo by Cid Castillo
