Community Service Day

Every year we do a awesome community service day where we go out and do things for people in need. Thie year my advisory went gleaning on a farm. Gleaning is picking potatoes that the harvester can not harvest. All of the potatoes will go to non profits feeding the homeless like Urban Ministries.

This year we went to a farm of a X-NFL player. This player gave up his twenty-five million dollar contract for Saint Louis Rams and went on to farm sweet potatoes and help the community.

It felt so good to be out in the fields, filling our buckets full of sweet potatoes. Knowing that they were going to give someone a meal. This job was so important because they said 40% of America’s population doesn’t know when their next meal is coming. And every year so many potatoes and other foods are thrown out. Through gleaning, we are giving so many families hope, that they have another meal on the way.
