Sam and Corey Hight (right) presen members of Somerset Career and Technical Center a check for $1,200 for the Skowhegan Backpack Program. The program feeds hundreds of children from Skowhegan and surrounding towns every year. The goal for this school year (2019-20) was to sponsor 60 backpacks or pantry equivalent in grades K-12 and stock the high school/SCTC food pantry for the year. Thanks to donations, the Backpack Program was able to cover all the bags or pantry equivalent for the year. (Submitted photo)
