High School Hearts

Written by: Kate Snyder, Executive Assistant

As promised, here’s another example of how individuals and organizations across Pittsburgh are having a heart for hunger.

Meet the team from Quaker Valley High School. As part of a senior elective course on service learning, this group of intrepid volunteers came and lent a helping hand in our Hunger Programs last week.

They sorted food donations, packed bags for the Pantry, prepared meals for our elderly Meals on Wheels clients, and served lunch at the Soup Kitchen. This isn’t the first time that EECM has benefited from the generosity of the Quaker Valley crew. Read about their creative holiday fundraiser.

These students are full of great ideas. Be sure to check out the Summer edition of the EECM newsletter (sign up for the electronic version in the right-hand sidebar) for more stories from Quaker Valley!

Thanks to all the participating students (and their teacher)! You’ve got a huge heart for hunger.
