7th Grade Students with Boxes of Turkeys for Distribution

Our 7th grade students had the privilege of helping distribute Thanksgiving dinner St. Ann's this morning.  When the students arrived, they were shocked to see a line of people halfway around the block, waiting for the distribution to begin.  Staff at the soup kitchen had never seen the line that long.  They were grateful for our student's help!  The number of people in need from all walks of life, really impacted our student's hearts.  The students bagged the groceries, bagged the turkeys, folded boxes, and helped carry the groceries to individual's cars.  St. Ann's distributed the groceries for approximately 1,800 Thanksgiving meals.The groceries donated from many organizations and individuals total in value to $25,000. Abney said "I loved being able to help this morning.  I was so surprised how many people were there needing food.  It was sad, but I was glad we were able to be there to help out."
