Caroline Graham, daughter of Shari and Bill Graham, had a Sweet 16 Party at the Trolley Barn recently.
In lieu of gifts, Graham, who is a student at Salisbury High School, asked her friends to bring canned food to donate to Rowan Helping Ministries.
She invited 200 people, and canned goods were required for gain admittance to the party.
Graham collected more than 450 cans, which she delivered to Rowan Helping Ministries Thursday.
