They are helpful in set up, organizing items, reaching out to families that come by to encourage them to participate, as well as distributing both food, or health and wellness supplies.\r\n\r\nOur students are excited to know they are helping others in a significant way. We see students wear their beanies, gloves at school. Families say \"yes please\" and \"thank you\" to them when they hand out the socks, deodorants and tooth care packages. In our debriefs, the students see that any material is needed in each home. \r\n\r\nOur next steps are to continue to expand the items we offer to families at our food distribution. We have included clothing as well. We also want to talk to others, their peers and teachers, by presenting to them what they do, what they have learned and how they can also can contribute. I also look forward to applying for more generous donations to continue the support to families.
