DENVER -- What do a pie in the face, a bingo game, and a food bank have in common?For this week's 7Everyday Hero, they all mean Coloradans won't go hungry.In the tri-town area of Firestone, Frederick and Dacono, Prairie Ridge Elementary School is the big winner. Tri-town schools compete to try to collect the most canned goods, and they also sponsor a Bingo game that helps residents.
Lions Club member Vic Trujillo and his wife came up with the idea, and the result fills a tri-town food closet each year.They feed about 60 families a month, providing canned goods for people who don't have homes and don't have food.Not long ago Vic lost his wife, Ida. But after 12 years of volunteering side by side, he wasn't about to retire from serving others.
