Your contribution will allow us to feed 100 families this Thanksgiving—families who otherwise would have struggled to put a holiday meal on the table.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, this project has inspired our students to take a deeper role in service and community engagement. We are continuing conversations about giving back, understanding community needs, and supporting one another during challenging times. Thanks to you, our school can move into the holiday season with full hearts and the ability to uplift families who deserve care and stability.
