Our Learning Experiences!
Our team really enjoyed volunteering with Feed My Starving Children. We learned a lot about how impactful our community is when we all come together. It was also a great bonding experience where we got to learn about why each of us is passionate about this social mission. It was a very fulfilling and humbling experience.
The Pitchfork Pantry We had the amazing experience of partnering with the Pitchfork Pantry this year. They allow students who may not be able to afford groceries the ability to get healthy and whole foods We developed multiple recipes for the different types of foods that are provided at the events so that students can have variety and inspiration to make healthy meals.
Our Mission Team Grant! Here is our station that we set up to demonstrate our smoothie recipe and hand recipes out! This is the lovely winner of our raffle for the blender! She was so excited! We worked together as a team to apply for grant money to fund this raffle! It was super fun and a memorable experience.
