Students had many meaningful takeaways from their experiences—they learned which plants are invasive species in Alapocas, how to patiently approach an animal and read its body language, and how to effectively communicate and engage with young children. They were especially moved by the wealth of stories and wisdom shared by the elderly—plus, many rediscovered a love of bingo!

At the Delaware Food Bank, students worked hard to pack boxes, including more than 700 weekend/dinner kits, and learned about hunger in our community—even among young children who lack access to enough food. At the Materials Resource Center, students helped prepare supplies for refugees and displaced people across the world.

It was a busy and rewarding day!
