Foodbank Trip

Upper and Middle School students got together on Tuesday to volunteer at the St. Louis Area Foodbank. It was the first of several monthly MICDS trips planned for the 2007-2008 school year. Students took a bus to the Foodbank warehouse in Earth City, received a brief tour and orientation from the manager, and then sorted and boxed food for a few hours before returning to campus. The Foodbank relies on volunteers from many schools, businesses, and organizations to get help to those in need. Each week, approximately 43,530 St. Louis area residents receive food prepared by volunteers at the Foodbank. That translates to over 2 million people fed by more than 13 million pounds of food.
