(KSL News) Students at Foothill Elementary embraced the season of giving today, donating more than 11-thousand items to the Utah Food Bank.
The students have been bringing in items for months, knowing that if they brought in 10-thousand items, the principal would take a pie in the face.
Since they exceeded their goal several teachers also stepped up to take a pie.
Even with food drives like the one at Foothill Elementary, some food banks say they will have to turn people away in the coming year.
In Utah County the director of Community Action Services says they currently have a shortfall of 2-hundred thousand pounds of food, which means as many as 15-hundred families could go hungry before the next food drive in nine months.
Food donations can still be dropped off at any Jiffy Lube location or Smith's Grocery Store.
