Dexter, Missouri - Central Elementary students were the top donators to Dexter's Stuff A Truck canned food drive to benefit the Stoddard County Gospel Mission.

The third grade classroom of Mrs. Christ Nichols turned in the highest number of items.  They donated 529 non-perishable canned food items.

Each student received a Happy Meal from McDonald's as a treat for their hard work and generosity.  General Manager of McDonalds Richard Hickson was on hand to deliver the treats and celebrate with the students.

Judy Patterson, Dexter High School Counselor, heads the "Stuff A Truck" campaign each year to collect non-perishable foods for the Stoddard County Gospel Mission.

Over 5,000 foot items were collected from Dexter's Southwest, Central, Middle and High Schools and donated in the 2014 Stuff A Truck competition.
