Our student leadership team came in on their day off today to show a couple members of the Salvation Army & accept their generous donation. We also went through the clothing side of our closet & installed our new shelving! We’re still organizing, but it is looking so much better!

This group of Project RISE leaders set the record for amount of food packed in a shift. 7 full pallets. The old record was 6. That equals 1,224 food bags packed! #makeadifference

We are thankful we get to be @ school, we are thankful we get to be leaders, & we are thankful we get to serve our community. Some of student leaders w/ our Student Food Pantry program packed & delivered food to a few of our school families to get them thru Thanksgiving break.
