Those attending the Tulip City basketball showdown tonight can help others in the process.

Pella and Pella Christian fans are invited to bring food for the Back Pack program to tonight’s game at Pella High. The program provides food for students on the weekend who otherwise might go hungry. Fans are asked to bring individual size meals like Easy Mac and Chef Boyardee, as well as snacks like fruit cups, pudding cups, granola bars and individually wrapped snack cracker packs. Those who donate two items will receive a free bag of popcorn to enjoy at the game.

Additionally, the second of two Dollars for Scholars pork suppers will be held from 5 to 6:30 p.m., as a meal will be available in exchange for donations to support scholarships for graduating seniors at both schools and homeschool locally.
