Students at Buffalo's McKinley High School presented the City Mission with a check Wednesday, capping off their Holiday Season community service project.  This story actually begins in November, when McKinley students enlisted in the Jr. ROTC collected clothing and turkeys for donation to the City Mission.  

After delivering the goods, students decided that wasn't enough.

"We decided to come back to school, get with a couple of students, the National Honor Society, and make a fundraiser.  We brought in coupon books," said Jr. ROTC Cadet Lieutenant Colonel Jerome Thomas.
