OXFORD – Fans who attend Friday’s boys basketball match up between Oxford and Chenango Valley will also be doing their part to help two local food pantries, thanks to the Oxford High School’s chapter of the National Honor Society.

According to the student organization’s advisor, Jane Ford, the winter months are a tough time for area food pantries. Shelves are bare, but at the same time there is an increased level of need in the community. Recognizing this need, honor society members will hold a food drive in conjunction with Friday night’s boys basketball game at Oxford High School.
