It's a Dakota County tradition that started all the way back in 1954. This year over two thousand Cardinal Christmas Basket volunteers gave less fortunate families a free meal for the holidays. South Sioux City, Dakota City and Homer Community students collected canned goods for two weeks with a grand total of over 13,500 cans.
