Combine great middle school volleyball and an important community project and you have the ingredients for a fantastic evening!

The ladies of the T.S. Hill Middle School volleyball teams will be holding a special scrimmage this Tuesday, March 13 beginning at 6 p.m.

But this scrimmage goes beyond just a game. It involves helping others in the community. The admission to this scrimmage will be a canned food item that will be collected and donated to the Stoddard County Gospel Mission.

The local mission is in need of food to restocks its pantries. Food supplies are low and the need is great. This food drive will help the mission - and local families - in this tie of need.

What's Happening

• What: Middle School Volleyball Scrimmage
• When: T.S. Hill Middle School, Dexter
• Time: 6 p.m.
• Admission: Canned food for the Stoddard County Gospel Mission
