All proceeds will benefit the Yuletide Hunger Program of Independence and Seven Hills. Collectively, IMS brought in 1136 canned goods and raised $1145.75. Student Council and Builders Club would like to thank all who contributed so generously to help those in need. You have definitely made the holidays a little brighter for many local families. #iPride
