The Junior and Senior Youth Group at the North Madison Congregational Church raised over 400 pounds of food by having a scavenger hunt. They put flyers around the neighborhoods of Bartlett and Winterhill Road asking for donations. Then they went and picked up the bags. The foods were each given a point value and the team with the most points won ice cream. Thanks so much to all that were involved.
