"If people bring a canned item or a nonperishable food item to donate to PORCH Durham, they receive a bean, which is good for one vote in the People's Choice Award," said Charlotte Ray. "And so once we announce the winners at the end, that person will get a trophy."
The winner received a gift certificate for $75 and a trophy.

Donations from the event went to Porch Durham, an organization that helps provide meals to kids and families facing hunger all over Durham County.
