JOPLIN -- Hundreds of people filed into the McAuley High School gym Sunday for the 10th annual Munch Madness. For a small donation, they were treated to more than 30 different dishes and deserts. The meals were supplied by families in the community, and all proceeds were donated to St. Peter's Middle School. The school's principal says he is thankful for all of the support from the community.

"This is all volunteer," says St. Peter's principal Greg Emory. "People from all around, we use them from year to year, call them back and see if they would like to help. Some are new. We start the new 6th grade families, starting over again, but we have some that have been doing it for ten years." 

Organizers hope to raise more than $3,000 from the event for the upcoming school year.
