“Hands to Larger Service” service learning event

THANK YOU to everyone who supported our local food pantries by donating food and money throughout the collection period and also to those who were able to attend the March event. We collected over 1500 lbs. of food along with over $850. We were also able to learn about food insecurity and ways we can assist in helping to make a positive impact!
