Topeka — Topeka High School ROTC members spent today loading a truck with food for a local charity.

This is an annual food drive for the ROTC members.

The food was donated by Hy-Vee and Wal-Mart.

ROTC members hauled the food from the stores to the school.

Then Tuesday, they boxed it up and helped load it onto a truck for Let's Help.

"We collected over 7,000 cans and over roughly a one-thousand dollars to spend on cans," said Corporal Savanna Jenkins, a Topeka High junior.

Corporal Jenkins says this year's food drive is the largest they've ever done.
