At Copper Canyon High School, a group of teens isn’t waiting for solutions; they’re building them.
Last month, the students launched Canyon Corner, a fully student-run pantry offering free food and essentials to any classmate who needs it.
Stocked through student fundraisers and neighborhood donations, the pantry is built on a simple promise: “No Aztec should ever go without.”
ABC15's Cameron Polom stopped by Canyon Corner to see the shelves being stocked and volunteers sorting supplies, quietly lifting up their own community. Watch the heartwarming story in the video player above.
