EUGENE, Ore. -- The holidays tend to shed light on the overwhelming amount of need in any community. At Cascade Middle School in the Bethel area of Eugene nearly 70% of students are living in poverty.  Somehow, those kids have made an amazing donation. They know what it's like to not have much. So those students gathered everything they had over the past few weeks. In the end? Nearly 4,000 cans of food for families at Cascade Middle School.
