The Blue Jay basketball team helped deliver food to citizens of Liberty Saturday morning. In a community wide effort to assist people in need, the players had the final step in the process of putting the food in the hands of the people of need. Liberty Public Schools, in cooperation with the Sertoma service club, promote food drives at each school building. The canned food items are collected from the schools and organized into the correct address locations. From there, the Jays' players are able to deliver food to about 100 people at two apartment complexes.
"This is the 15th year our program has participated in the Mayor's Christmas Tree Food Drive. It would be 16 in a row but one winter the weather was so bad we didn't want our players out on the dangerous roads. It's a good experience for our players to give back to the community...a community that has provided them with so much," states Coach Stirtz.
Max Francisco, sophomore, said "It was a good experience and it was nice to help people in need." Derek Brizendine, sophomore, remarked "It was very successful. It was great to see the joy that we brought people who we delivered food to."
