Quinn Elementary students are collecting nonperishables this week for the Dartmouth Council on Aging food pantry.

Fifth-grade peer leaders organized the Souper Bowl of Caring event, which kicked off on January 30. Students will be collecting non-perishable food items and household goods (such as toilet paper and paper towels) through February 3.

Anyone wishing to contribute can also drop off donations at the Council on Aging, located at 628 Dartmouth Street.
