At the end of the friendly competition, the River Bend Food Bank counts each haul at its warehouse, and gives out awards.
The River Bend Food Bank, and its 37th Student Hunger Drive provides food to people facing hunger in 23 counties in eastern Iowa and western Illinois.
It kicked off on on Oct. 2, and will end Nov. 9.
