Michelle Clark @ CCIL

Take two at CCIL was another success! As the group from Clark HS was slightly larger, students were able to split into two groups. One group stayed in the Community Pantry and passed out bags to over 100 patrons. The rainy weather did not encourage patrons to wait in line, but rather they trickled in over the three hours.

Because there was less of a rush, students were able to spend more time talking to each patron and helping to provide them with healthful food. Two girls set aside a whole turkey and waited to give to a grandmother with two small granddaughters with her. It was powerful to see these students thinking about getting food to suit each patron’s needs.

Meanwhile, the other group of students went into the kitchen to help serve lunch to those who live at CCIL. The transitional housing facility is home to families, single men and single women. This particular batch of students as also involved in direct service as they were able to provide a healthy and tasty meal to residents.

Another round of thanks to Chris at CCIL for making this a wonderful event for another group of our students!
