HASTINGS, Neb. (AP) — Lincoln County has won this year’s county-versus-county food drive competition.

The county collected more than 10,700 items or cash equivalents for the contest, which is called Do a Good Deed Feed Those in Need. Donations were accepted from county employees and the general public, as well as from private businesses.

Winners are determined by the average of items given per full-time county employee. Lincoln County has 140 full-time workers, so its winning average was nearly 77 items per employee.

Finishing second was Clay County, with more than 3,600 items donated, 50 full-time workers and an average of nearly 73 items per employee.

Hamilton County finished third. Adams County, which originated the drive in 2007, finished fourth.

The total collected was nearly 33,000 items.
